CMI postdoc researcher now in permanent position at NVE Corporation.

CMI researchers from Ames National Laboratory conducted the research for this highlight.

Innovation
CMI postdoc has transitioned to a permanent staff position at NVE Corporation, (HQ in Eden Prairie, MN).

Achievement
As a CMI postdoc at Ames National Laboratory, Mst (Nazu) Nazmunnahar worked on discovery of permanent magnet materials. Her work led to discovery of a new iron-based ferromagnetic intermetallic phase with the potential to be a new permanent magnet.

Significance and Impact

  • Nazu’s CMI training enable her to contribute to NVE Corporation in development of spintronic devices and magnetic sensors.
  • NVE is a leader in practical spintronics since 1989, strategic player in the U.S. domestic field of spintronic, isolator and magnetic sensor systems and their developments towards material and energy sustainability.
  • Addressing critical materials challenges requires building a large community of highly-trained researchers and CMI is an important source of the expertise that is needed for practical solutions.

Hub Goal Addressed
Providing the leaders, technical experts and skilled professionals needed by U.S. industry to assure its supply chains.
