Liza Žaper

Liza Žaper is a researcher at the University of Basel, where she completed her Ph.D. in 2024. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the University of Zagreb (2014), a Master's in Electronics Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Milan (2017), and previously worked at ETH Zürich before joining the University of Basel. Her research focuses on nanomagnetism, quantum technologies, and advanced imaging techniques in materials science. Key areas include magnetic vortex dynamics, spin qubit control, and nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging.

Her work bridges quantum physics and nanotechnology, with a strong emphasis on experimental methodologies such as dynamic cantilever magnetometry and scanning probe microscopy. She has contributed to understanding magnetic phase transitions in 2D materials and the development of novel nanodevices for quantum computing applications. Notable achievements include pioneering studies on skyrmion clusters and strain-controlled magnetic reversal in ultra-thin films.

Liza's publications highlight her expertise in nanoscale phenomena, including studies on ferromagnetic superconductors, nanowire force sensors, and the coupling of trapped ions to mechanical systems. Her research has implications for both fundamental physics and applied technologies, such as high-resolution MRI at the nanoscale and spintronics-based devices.
