We also welcome Dr. Valerio Scagnoli, a new post doc who arrived in the team of Urs Staub at PSI, in January. He is studying the magneto-electric multipole moments in multiferroics.

 

 Dr. Adrian Kantian (from the group of P. Zoller, Innsbruck) will join the group of Thierry Giamarchi, at the University of Geneva, on February 1st. to work as a post doc.

In October 2009, Dr. Mikhail Zvonarev has joined a Junior chair in the Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Modèles Statistiques (LPTMS), Orsay, France, after a stay at the University of Geneva in the group of Prof. Thierry Giamarchi. Congratulations !
