Many competitive postdoctoral fellowships are based on and emphasize the importance of academic mobility, viewing it as a valuable asset that enhances researchers' knowledge and competitiveness in the academic job market. In today’s universities and research centers, mobility and internationalization are essential for the career advancement of academics. While geographical mobility can indeed bolster the careers and employability of junior and insecurely employed researchers, it often comes with personal costs.
For those in precarious academic positions, the pressure to relocate is significant if they hope to secure more stable roles. However, individuals on short-term contracts may be less inclined to embrace this mobility. It has been suggested that men find it easier to navigate geographical mobility due to established networks and mentors, and they are often not required to demonstrate their international potential as rigorously as women. In contrast, women face real barriers when balancing work and family commitments, which can limit their mobility more than men's.
Interestingly, women tend to be more mobile early in their careers, when they typically have fewer family responsibilities. Factors such as gender, age, academic tenure, and personal circumstances influence the mobility strategies employed by researchers.
This workshop will explore the issue of research careers and mobility from the perspective of women in academia.
Title: Van der Waals magnonic cavities
Superconducting resonators are essential to solid-state quantum technologies, enabling key functions like qubit readout and signal amplification. Coplanar LC resonators, in particular, offer strong qubit-photon coupling due to their low losses and compact size. However, their size cannot be scaled down to the nanoscale, limiting the ability to reach stronger coupling regimes needed for studying new physics and advancing spin qubit applications. Achieving such strong coupling with current superconducting circuits remains nearly out of reach today.
In this talk, I introduce VdW-QED - a radically new platform that leverages magnonic resonators made from van der Waals (vdW) antiferromagnetic insulators for cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) experiments with spin qubits. I will demonstrate our first key achievement: the experimental observation of strong magnon-spin coupling between CrSBr, which serves as the magnonic cavity, and GdW10, which forms the solid-state spin ensemble. By detecting an anticrossing and identifying signatures of dark states, we quantitatively confirm that the coupling is coherent and exhibits well-defined symmetries. These findings open the door to using CrSBr and similar layered materials as magnonic cavities in hybrid quantum systems, offering exciting prospects for both fundamental physics and applied device research.
The talk will be in English.

Titel: In Search of Female Role Models
It is quite common to explain the low percentage of female students in STEM fields by pointing to the lack of female role models. In this workshop, I will show you that female role models have always been there. Although many of them did not have the opportunity to pursue careers in science, they inspired us through their passion for activities that were often considered just hobbies — but were they really just hobbies?
The Workshop will be in English.
