She has joined the ICMM recently, but his link to our institute started eleven years ago. We meet Esther Calle, the new technician of the SQUID Magnetometry and Low Temperature Service

Where do you come from?

I studied Physics in Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and did my phD in ICMM in the Group of Nanomagnetism and Magnetization Processes.

What have you worked on so far?

In 2014 I started to work in ICMM, where I joined the group of Nanomagnetism and Magnetization processes to work in a technological project involving the fabrication and characterization of amorphous magnetic materials prepared by ultrarrapid solidification techniques for the development of ferromagnetic elements for enhanced electromagnetic protection of electrical bundles. 

Then I did my phD in ICMM, focused on the study and control of the time-resolved domain wall dynamics in amorphous magnetic microwires (2021). After that I worked in a technological company in collaboration with Instituto de Magnetismo Aplicado on the development of an antitheft technology based on the detection of magnetic microwires. 

From 2023 to now I have been working in Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and afterwards in ICMM on the characterization of model systems based on magnetic nanowires and nanoparticles by means of Magnetic Force Microscopy for the development of rare-earth free permanent magnets.

What will you work on? With whom? 

Now I will work here as a technician of the SQUID magnetometry and Low Temperature Service.

And a personal touch: any hobbies? 

I enjoy playing football and going to the mountain.
