Silvia Damerio joined ICMAB-CSIC and the MAGNEPIC project as a Post-doc researcher in February 2022. She obtained her BSc. (Hons - 2015) and MSc. (Hons - 2017) in Chemistry from the University of Genova (Italy) and University of Groningen (The Netherlands), respectively. She subsequently joined the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials of the University of Groningen for her PhD, which she received in 2022 with a thesis about modulated phases in ferroic oxides. In 2023 she received a grant of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions to investigate dynamical spintronic devices and continue her work at ICMAB. Her current research focuses on engineering materials and heterostructures for spintronics applications.

Stefano Fedel joined ICMAB-CSIC and the MAGNEPIC project as a PhD student in September 2021. He studied Engineering Physics at Politecnico di Milano (Italy), where he obtained his BSc. in 2018 and MSc. in 2021. He spent one year as an exchange student at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) between 2019 and 2020. Afterward, he carried out his master thesis at ETH Zurich (Switzerland), where he focused on the characterization of spin-orbit torques at the interface between topological insulators and ferromagnet. Stefano's project deals with the current-driven dynamics of magnetization in magnetic insulators detected by MOKE microscopy. After defending his PhD in Demeber 2025, he remainded in the group as a Postdoc.

Takayuki Shiino joined ICMAB-CSIC and the MAGNEPIC project as a postdoctoral researcher in March 2024. He received his BSc in Physics (2013) and MSc in Materials Science and Engineering (2016) from Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan) and KAIST (South Korea), respectively. He received his Ph.D. from Nagoya University (Japan) in 2019 with a thesis on a quantum critical phenomenon in heavy-fermion materials. After the PhD, he experienced two postdoctoral researches: Uppsala University (2019 - 2021, Sweden) and KAIST (2022 - 2024, South Korea) for the studies of quasicrystals and spintronics, respectively. His current postdoctoral research focuses on spintronic devices with insulating ferrimagnetic materials.
