About
Van Tuong Pham, born in Vietnam, displayed a keen interest in science and technology from a young age, setting the stage for his future endeavors in academia and research. He initiated his research career as a dedicated student at the Institute of Materials Sciences-VAST in Hanoi.
In 2011, Pham ventured abroad, earning a Master's degree in Physics in 2013 from Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea, with a focus on electromagnetic metamaterials. This period marked the start of his experimental research career.
In 2014, he joined INAC-CEA in Grenoble, France, for a Ph.D. in nanophysics, funded by the Laboratoire d’Excellence (LANEF), completing it in 2017. Post-Ph.D., he joined the Nanodevices group at CIC nanoGUNE in San Sebastian, Spain, as a postdoctoral researcher, where his work, funded by the ‘Juan de la Cierva — Formación’ program, centered on spin-orbit transport in local and non-local devices.
At nanoGUNE, collaborating with Intel Corp., Pham investigated spin-charge conversion for magnetic readout, crucial for the MESO logic concept aimed at surpassing CMOS computations. He later worked at Spintec/CEA-CNRS in Grenoble, focusing on current-induced skyrmion transports in synthetic antiferromagnetic nanostructures for advanced computational applications.
Currently, he works as the researcher/ the senior engineer in Angstrom Patterning (ÅP) department at imec in Leuven. His role is the specialist in extremely ultraviolet lithography for memory and interest in developing beyond CMOS technology.
Pham's prolific publication record includes 50 peer-reviewed articles and an h-index of 21, with his work appearing in prestigious journals like Science, Nature Electronics, Nature Communications, Nano Letters, Physical Review Letters, Applied Physical Letters, and Physical Review B. Beginning his publication journey during his Master's studies, Pham has made substantial contributions to nanomagnetism, spintronics, metamaterials, and semiconductors. He has presented his research at numerous prestigious conferences, including the invited talks at INTERMAG-Lyon 2021 and IWAMSN-Danang 2024. He also serves as an active reviewer in the field of spintronics for journals such as Nature, Nature Communications, Physical Review Applied, Physical Review B, Applied Physics Express, and others.
Pham's transition from a dedicated student in Vietnam to a leading researcher in nanomagnetism and spintronics underscores his persistence, intellect, and passion. His innovative contributions influence both the academic and professional realms, significantly advancing these fields. His dedication, groundbreaking research, and substantial contributions have established Pham as a distinguished figure in nanomagnetism, spintronics, metamaterials, and semiconductors, driving forward scientific and technological progress.
