Postdoctoral Researchers
Yury Illarionov was born in Leningrad (now Saint-Petersburg) in 1988. He studied solid state physics at the Physical Science and Technology Faculty of St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University where he received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in 2009 and 2011, respectively. From 2010 to 2012 he studied advanced material science in Grenoble Institute of Technology (France) and University of Augsburg (Germany) in frameworks of Functionalized Advanced Materials and Engineering (FAME) Erasmus Mundus program and in September 2012 received a double European M.Sc. degree. His scientific carrier has started in October 2007 in Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute (Russia) and in November 2011 he joined the PhD program there. He also visited IRCELYON (France, May-July 2011) and Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (Singapore, February-July 2012) as a young guest researcher. He joined the Institute for Microelectronics in February 2013. In January 2015 he received the PhD degree in semiconductor physics from Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute and in December 2015 the Dr.techn. degree from TU Wien. In NovoMemLog hos focus is on analysis of material dependencies in numerical modeling and TCAD simulations of emerging magnetoresistive devices.
PhD Students
Ciprian Mihai Ceausescu was born in 1994 in Campulung-Muscel, Romania. He graduated from University of Bucharest in June 2019, where he obtained a Master’s degree in Software Engineering with a final project regarding Deep Learning Optimization. In October 2019, Ciprian joined the Institute for Microelectronics where he started working towards his doctoral degree. His research in NovoMemLog is focused on integrating heat transport equations with spin/charge transport and magnetization dynamics.
Wilton Jaciel Loch Wilton Jaciel Loch was born in 1998 in Presidente Getúlio, Brazil. He received his Bachelor degree in Computer Science from Santa Catarina State University in 2019. In 2020 he enrolled in the Master’s program in Applied Computing from the same university, with research focused on communication algorithms for high performance computing (HPC). He received his Master’s degree in 2021 and in October he joined the Institute for Microelectronics to perform research on HPC methods for micromagnetic simulations of non-volatile magnetic memory devices.
Mohamed Mohamedou was born on October 1991 in Akjoujt, Mauritania. He graduated from Paris-Saclay University in 2016 where he obtained a Master’s Degree in Numerical Analysis/Applied Mathematics. Afterwards, he worked on numerical modeling for different industrial and academic projects spanning electromagnetism and mechanics engineering. In September 2019 Mohamed joined the Institute for Microelectronics where he started working towards his doctoral degree. His research is focused on developing high performance numerical simulations-based micromagnetics approaches to investigating non-volatile magnetic memory devices.
Simone Fiorentini was born 1992 in Verona, Italy. He received his Bachelor degree and Master Degree in Physiscs from the University of Padova, in 2014 and 2017, respectively. He carried out his Master Thesis the Ruprecht-Karls University of Heidelberg through the Erasmus Program. After a short period working for an IT company in Milan, Italy, he joined the Institute for Microelectronics in November 2018, where he started his PhD studies. He is currently investigating ways to appropriately simulate both spin and magnetization dynamics in non-volatile magnetic memory devices.
Undergraduate Students
Heribert Seiler is enrolled in the Bachelor Program of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the TU Wien, Austria. He was employed in the NovoMemLog project until December 2021 where his main focus was on k.p-base analysis of the spin-dependent subband structure in nanoribbons of topological insulators.
