Anya Grafov, a graduate student at JILA, has been awarded the Best Poster Award at the IEEE Magnetics Society . Studying under JILA Fellows and University of Colorado Boulder Physics professors Margaret Murnane and Henry Kapteyn, Grafov's poster titled 鈥淧robing Ultrafast Spin Dynamics with Extreme Ultraviolet High Harmonics鈥 was one of only nine to receive this prestigious recognition.
鈥淲inning this award from the IEEE Magnetics Society is an incredible honor. It validates the hard work and dedication put into our research and motivates us to continue pushing the boundaries in magnetics research,鈥 stated Grafov. 鈥淥ur technique is quite niche, so I wanted to focus my poster on our actual measurement technique and the experiments we conduct. It's an overview of the measurement technique and examples of two recent projects we've been working on using our beamline.鈥
Highlighting the fundamentals and new research, like Grafov鈥檚, in magnetics, the annual summer school brings together graduate students worldwide to study magnetism through lectures by international experts and poster presentations.听
鈥淚t was a great experience to learn about different aspects of magnetism, from fundamental research to applied technologies like spintronic devices and magnetic artificial intelligence,鈥 she added.
