Kinga Lasek

Dr. Kinga Lasek is a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Physics at Purdue University, working within Prof. Manfra's research group at the Birck Nanotechnology Center since July 2023. Her position involves advanced materials research with a focus on quantum phenomena.

She earned her PhD in Physics from the Institute of Physics Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland, in 2018, where her dissertation centered on perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in magnetic tunnel junctions heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy.

Her research expertise spans thin films growth and characterization, with specialized focus on semiconductor heterostructures (AlGaAs-GaAs), magnetic materials, and two-dimensional systems including transition metal chalcogenides and magnetic 2D heterostructures. She employs molecular beam epitaxy techniques to develop high-purity materials for quantum applications.
