2017 Early Career Award

IEEE Magnetics Society’s 2017 Early Career Award Recipient:
Wei Zhang, Department of Physics, Oakland University, Rochester, USA

The IEEE Magnetics Society has established an Early Career Award. This award will be given to an individual, who is member of the IEEE Magnetics Society at the time of nomination, nominated not more than 5 years after completion of his or her PhD, and who has already shown outstanding scientific or technical achievements which has been significantly beyond the average performance of a person at that career level.

This year's recipient is Wei Zhang of the Department of Physics, Oakland University, Rochester, USA. He receives the 2017 Early Career Award for “for contributions to exploring spin-orbit coupling phenomena with antiferromagnets, magnetic insulators, two-dimensional systems, and topologically non-trivial spin textures”
