Carles Navau
He got the degree in Physics in 1995 and the Doctorate in Physics in 2000, both at the University Autonomous of Barcelona (UAB). In 2000 he moved to the Salesian University School of Engineering. In 2008 he went back to the UAB as a Tenure Lecturer in Applied Physics, which became, in 2010 an Associate Professor position. In 2023 he got the full Professor position.

His topics of interest have been the modelling and simulations of magnetic materials and systems. He devoted several years to the theoretical description of levitation of superconductors at the macroscale using mainly the critical-state model. From this point, he focused on the modelling of properties of type-II superconductors (i. e. magnetisation, susceptibility, critical-currents, …). In the last few years, he has focused his research on several fields, namely: the manipulation and moulding of static magnetic fields (cloaking, guiding, concentrating, transforming, …), the micromagnetic modelling of nanomagnetic structures, such as magnetic vortices, domain walls, and skyrmions, and the design of magnetic traps for quantum magnetomechanics.
