Henrik M. Rønnow
Prof. Henrik Moodysson Rønnowis an associate professor at the School of Basic Sciences, EPFL where he founded Laboratory for Quantum Magnetism (LQM) in 2007. His main research interests are quantum magnetism and strongly correlated electron materials, namely as in high-temperature superconductors and manganites exhibiting colossal magnetoresistance.
Affiliated Honorary Professors at the Copenhagen University are young international highly distinguished scientists that clearly fulfill the requirements for full professorship and are named by the Dean of the Faculty for a period of 5 years, extendable. They are encouraged to foster the links between the institutions by visiting Copenhagen University and giving lectures or talks as well as engaging in common research.
Professor Rønnow's honorary title will start from the first of July 2014 and will subsequently be marked by an inaugural lecture whose date is yet to be determined.
