Jacques Miltat

Jacques Miltat is a CNST Visiting Fellow in the Electron Physics Group. Jacques received an Engineering Degree from Ecole des Mines in France and a Ph.D. in Materials Science from Oxford University. He then joined Paris-Sud University at Orsay, France as a CNRS Staff Scientist, and was awarded the French Doctorat d’Etat in Physics.  At Paris-Sud University, Jacques came to serve as the head of a research group with interests in magnetic imaging, micromagnetics, and magnetization dynamics.  More recently, he has focused on the effects of a spin polarized current on the magnetic state of patterned nanomagnets and their possible applications.  Jacque has over 125 publications, including a number co-authored with NIST staff.  During his stay at the CNST, Jacques is collaborating with Mark Stiles on theoretical studies of nanomagnetism and magnetic imaging.
