01.03.2018

On March 1, Dieter Suess was appointed associate professor for functional materials at the University of Vienna.

Dieter Suess was born 1975 in Vienna.  He studied at the Vienna University of Technology from 1994 to 1999 and completed his dissertation "Micromagnetic Simulations of Antiferro-and Ferromagnetic Structures for Magnetic Recording" in 2002, which was partly conducted in Perth (Australia). In the summer of 2006, he worked as a consultant at Komag (now Western Digital) in San Jose (California) to support the product realisation of the "Exchange Spring Media" concept he proposed for hard disks, which has now been used in commercial hard disks since 2007.  In June 2007, Dieter Suess completed his habilitation in Computational Materials Science at the Vienna University of Technology.  Since 2008 he has been project leader of several FWF, WWTF and company projects and since June 2013 he has been head of the Christian Doppler Laboratory "Advanced Magnetic Sensing and Materials" with a total project volume of approximately 5 million euros.

Dr. Suess started his career in the Functional Materials Group at the University of Vienna in 2017. Since March 2018, Dr. Suess has been Associate Professor at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Vienna.

Dieter Suess has published around 200 papers in scientific journals. In his research he deals with magnetization dynamics and thermal activations in magnetic materials with a special focus on applications for memory and sensors, spintronics up to 3D printing of magnets.
