Biography
Bert Koopmans is a full professor and group leader of the group Physics of Nanostructures at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His present research activities are in spintronics, nanomagnetism, and ultrafast spin- and magnetization-dynamics. Key research achievements have been made in laser-induced femtosecond magnetization processes and controlling current-induced domain wall motion – in many cases combining experimental and theoretical approaches. Within the TU/e NWO Gravitation program on photonic integration, he has initiated a research program on integrated magneto-photonics, exploring future energy-efficient and versatile information technology. In 2020 he was elected Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Magnetics Society.
