Daniel Rizo Molina is proud of his roots in Talavera de la Reina, in the province of Toledo. "It’s known as the City of Ceramics," he explains. He is one of the new PhD researchers who joined the ICMM in recent months. He has become part of the Nanomagnetism and Magnetization Processes group.

What have you worked on so far?
I have previous experience on nanomagnetism from my bachelor and master thesis at the Materials Science Department in UCM. My bachelor thesis focused on nanomagnetism for energy applications, and my master thesis focused on magnetostrictive thin films.

 What will you work on? With whom?
I will work on the tuning of magnetic properties by external stimuli, e.g. changes on the magnetic anisotropy induced by strain. I will be supervised by Miriam Jaafar.

Why ICMM?
ICMM is suited with a wide range of experimental techniques that allow for essential characterization of magnetic structures, and the Group of Nanomagnetism and Magnetization Processes is full of experts in that subject.

And a personal touch: any hobbies?
I usually go to the gym for health and for fun, but I also like playing videogames and I enjoy modding computers with my own hands.  
What would you like to contribute to the institute?
I would like to give the best of me while I am here, and build good memories with my coworkers.
