Rembert Duine Explained

Rembert Duine
Birth Date:2 March 1975
Birth Place:Oud-Alblas[1]
Occupation:Professor, Utrecht University

Rembert A. Duine (born March 2, 1975) is a professor of theoretical physics[2] at Utrecht University in the Netherlands and a part-time professor at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. He wrote his PhD thesis under the supervision of Henk Stoof, working on ultracold atoms. He has authored and co-authored more than 100[3] papers on spintronics, ultracold atoms, and condensation in dissipative systems like photons, magnons, and excitons. In 2019, Duine received a prestigious NWO Vici grant of 1.5 Million Euros.[4]

Besides other notable achievements, landmark publications by Duine and his collaborators have led to the opening of new sub-fields of physics, such as magnetic skyrmion spintronics,[5] antiferromagnetic spintronics,[6] and cold-atom spintronics.[7]
