Sebastian T. B. Goennenwein graduated from the Technical University of Munich with a Ph.D. in physics in 2003. Following a postdoc at Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, he worked as a research group leader and as the deputy director at the Walther Meissner Institute, Bavarian Academy of Sciences, Germany. In 2016, Goennenwein was appointed a full professor at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany. His research addresses spin currents, spin dynamics, spin caloritronics, and topology-related phenomena in multifunctional magnetic heterostructures and devices.
