effect);
12 oral contributions and invited talks and posters at
conferences; 11
publications in journals and conference proceedings and two book chapters in
the field of spin electronics;
 Collaborative projects,
financed by the EC, with different research laboratories and industrial
companies (Onstream Eindhoven, Neuromag Helsinki); research carried out through
regular discussions and presentations to collaborators and EC officers (yearly
reports and meetings); individual work or as a part of a team with the aim to
meet deadlines.
