Jakub Železný is a group leader at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague. He works on theoretical condensed-matter physics, primarily in the field of spintronics. His research mainly focuses on spintronics in antiferromagnetic and other unconventional magnetic materials and on the role that symmetry plays in transport phenomena. He received his Ph.D. from Charles University in the Czech Republic in 2016, and after that he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Germany.
