Prof. UAM Anna Dyrdał

Anna Dyrdał is a theoretical physicist researching the theory of condensed matter in nanoscale. Her current scientific interests concern broadly understood spintronics, that is, the area at the border of condensed matter physics, nanomagnetism, and materials science. Particularly interested in the theory of spin-dependent electronic transport in semiconducting heterostructures, interfaces of perovskite oxides, two-dimensional materials of graphene type, van-der-Waals heterostructures, and topological insulators. Specializes in theoretical description of the phenomena induced in electronic transport due to spin-orbital effects.
Her research experience was developed in many scientific institutions, including The Institut Català de Nanociència and Nanotecnologia ICN2 and Unité Mixte de Physique CNRS/Thales – Université Paris-Saclay, Institut fur Physik, Martin-Luther Universitat, Halle-Wittenberg.
Head of the Department of Mesoscopic Physics at the Faculty of Physics, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and member of Polish Young Academy, Polish Academy of Sciences.
