JILA graduate student Anya Grafov (second to the right) holds up her award for Best Lightning Talk.

Congratulations to JILA graduate students Anya Grafov and Iona Binnie—who conduct their cutting-edge research in the laboratory of JILA Fellows and the University of Colorado Boulder professors Margaret Murnane and Henry Kapteyn—for their outstanding achievements at the MMM Intermag 2025 conference!

“I'm grateful to the IEEE Magnetics Society for the opportunity to share my research and honored to be recognized,” said Grafov. “The Young Professionals Lightning Talks required us to present our research to a general audience in just two minutes. Ultrafast magnetism and extreme ultraviolet light science are complex topics, so explaining my entire project in such a short time was no easy task. Summarizing my project without jargon or lengthy explanations was a rewarding challenge that strengthened my science communication skills.”

Grafov earned 1st Place in the Young Professionals Lightning Talks for her presentation, “Measuring Magnetic Dynamics with Extreme Ultraviolet Light,” while Binnie won the Best Poster Award in her session for her poster, “Probing Skyrmions via High Harmonic Driven Ultrafast Magnetic Scattering and Coherent 3D X-ray Vector Ptychography.”

“Presenting my poster was a demanding but very rewarding experience,” added Binnie. “I really enjoyed the opportunity to share my research with the magnetics community, which is a different audience than I am used to. Their questions sparked new insights into my own research challenges.”

Their achievements showcase the innovative work happening at JILA in the fields of ultrafast magnetism and extreme ultraviolet light science.
