Crystallography & Novel Materials

Biography

Jordi Sort leads The ‘Group of Smart Nanoengineered Materials, Nanomechanics and Nanomagnetism’ (comprising around 20 researchers) as an ICREA Research Professor at UAB. After finishing his PhD in 2002 in the field of “magnetic interfacial effects” (Extraordinary Award), Prof. Sort performed two postdoctoral stays, at SPINTEC (Grenoble) and at Argonne National Laboratory. His research is focused on a wide variety of materials (thin films, lithographed structures, porous materials and nanocomposites) with emphasis on their magnetic and mechanical performance. He received awards from the Catalan and Spanish Physical Societies as well as the Federation of European Materials Societies. At present, Prof. Sort has supervised 10 PhD Theses, has published around 265 articles (more than 6000 citations in ISI, h = 37), has issued 5 patents and has managed 26 national/international research projects, being Coordinator of an European Training Network (ITN) and a Consolidator Grant from the ERC.
