Jonas K. H. Fischer
University of Tokyo
Jonas K. H. Fischer studied physics at the University of Augsburg and at Osaka University, focusing on superconductors and on nanoporous Metal-organic frameworks. From 2015 to 2018, he was a researcher in Augsburg. His PhD thesis involved the search for ferroelectric materials among the organic charge-transfer salts. He participated in the collaborative research center TRR 80 and was a Board member of its graduate school. Since 2018, he is a Postdoc in Prof. Kimura’s group at Tokyo University, working on magnetoelectric multiferroics – materials which might power the next generation of IT devices.
