Our Team
We are funded by the QuSpin centre for quantum spintronics, the department of physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU, and the Norwegian Research Council. We benefit from access to the Sigma2 national infrastructure for HPC.
We offer new MSc projects every year, and Ph.D./postdoc positions as funding permits. As part of the QuSpin centre with 12 Profs/2 researchers/4 postdocs/25 PhD/18 MSc we have a vibrant community of colleagues.
