Enric Menéndez is currently a Serra Húnter tenure-track professor in Applied Physics. He is physicist from Universitat de Barcelona and materials engineer from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. In 2008, he obtained his PhD in Materials Science from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. He spent 1 year at the Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research (Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany) and 6 years at the Institute for Nuclear and Radiation Physics (KU Leuven, Belgium). As a result, he has built a broad background in Applied Physics and Materials Science, particularly in the cross-fertilization of ion beam modification of materials and magnetism. Enric Menéndez has published more than 70 articles in peer-review journals, filed two patents, and given more than 30 invited talks in international conferences. He is strongly committed to teaching, to the formation of young scientists and to outreach. He has supervised 2 PhD Theses, 2 Master Theses and 4 End-of-Degree Theses. He has a large expertise in performing experiments at large scale experimental facilities to explore the properties of materials at the nanoscale with intense beams of neutrons, photons and positrons. His mid-to-long term research interests tackle voltage (electric-field) control of magnetism and, in particular, magneto-ionics, which refers to voltage-induced ion migration phenomena to modify magnetic properties, for secure and energy-efficient spintronics and neuromorphics.
