CNRS Researcher at C2N: Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, NanoElectronics Department

Université Paris Saclay, France

Liza Herrera Diez has an interdisciplinary background in physics and chemistry. From 2003 to 2007, she studied physical chemistry at the National University of Cordoba (Argentina) and from 2008 to 2010, she conducted her doctoral studies at the Max-Planck Institute for Solid State Research while enrolled in the physics doctoral school at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. During this time, she performed studies on magnetic domain wall dynamics and magneto-transport in devices based on diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors (DMS). From 2011 to 2012, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Institut Néel in Grenoble. During this postdoctoral stay, she worked on electric field control of magnetic anisotropy and domain wall dynamics. Since 2013 she is a CNRS researcher at C2N: Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and her main line of research is oriented towards the control of domain wall dynamics in multifunctional nanodevices. 

She is coordinator of the Marie Sklowdowska Curie Innovative Training Network: MagnEFi.
