Presentation of professor: Sebastiaan van Dijken

Sebastiaan van Dijken is a Professor at the Department of Applied Physics and the leader of the Nanomagnetism and Spintronics research group.

van Dijken's research group is currently studying the behavior of very small magnetic materials. He is also currently teaching a freshman electromagnetism class and a master class in nanophysics.

– I am proud of the Nanomagnetism and Spintronics research group that I have established here at Aalto. It feels good that although I came from outside of the university and was the first foreign professor at the Department of Applied Physics I was able to start this research.

Researchers turn energy loss into a way of creating lossless photonics-based devices

Turning energy loss from a fatal flaw into a dial for fine-tuning new states of matter into existence could yield better laser, quantum and optical technology.

Herd immunity may not work how we think

A new study from researchers at Aalto University suggests that our picture of herd immunity may be incomplete — and that understanding how people are connected could be just as important as knowing how many are immune.
