Aleš Hrabec

Dr. Aleš Hrabec is a senior scientist at the Mesoscopic Systems group of the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zurich, focusing on antiferromagnetic materials. He has held positions at the University of Leeds and Laboratoire de Physique des Solides, Université Paris-Sud, where he studied magnetic skyrmions and high-spin-orbit interaction systems.

• PhD in 2011 from Institut Néel/CNRS
• 2012–2015: Postdoctoral work at University of Leeds and Université Paris-Sud
• Since 2018: Senior scientist at PSI and ETH Zurich

His research spans magnetic domain wall dynamics, ferrimagnetic and ultrathin magnetic films, perpendicular anisotropy, and the physics of magnetic skyrmions in systems combining dipolar and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions. He explores applications in antiferromagnetic spintronics and field-free technologies.
