Talieh Ghiasi’s groundbreaking research in spintronics has led to significant advances in spin-related functionalities of nanodevices with potential applications in future memory and computing systems. By tailoring graphene properties, she developed a new generation of two-dimensional spin-logic devices where the graphene itself converts electrical and thermal signals into spin information. Her pioneering research, as a PhD student at the University of Groningen and postdoc at TU Delft, involves various experimental techniques and has made a high impact in the field. She recently started working as a postdoc at Harvard University with a Rubicon grant and she is also affiliated with TU Delft as a visiting researcher.
