Dr Simon Granville

Simon is an experimental materials physicist and NZ expert in thin film magnetic materials. His field is spin-electronics, or spintronics, where he investigates the advanced magnetic materials needed to bring about a future generation of energy-efficient, ultra-high-speed and high-performance computer memory and logic that uses the magnetism, or “spin”, of electrons. He also co-leads a research programme that utilises spintronics for quantum computing technologies.
