Stefano Sanvito's Bio

Brief Biography

I completed my undergraduate studies in Milan (Italy), before moving to the University of Lancaster (UK), where I obtained a PhD in theoretical Physics. In 2002 I joined the School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin as a contract Lecturer, after having spent two successful years as postdoctoral fellow at the University of California Santa Barbara (USA). In 2006 I became associated Professor in Physics. At Trinity I have created the Computational Spintronics Group, a large and dynamical theoretical/computational research group that investigates elementary properties of materials and of nano-devices using computer simulations.
