SPINTEC
Lucian Prejbeanu has a diverse work experience spanning over several companies and roles. Lucian started their career at the National Institute for R&D of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies in 1997 as a Research Staff Member. Lucian then pursued their PhD at the Institut de Physique et de Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg, completing it in 2002. Following that, they worked as a Postdoc at the Institut Neel CNRS before joining SPINTEC in 2003 as a Research Staff Member and later as a Research Scientist. In 2006, Lucian joined Crocus Technology as the R&D Director until 2013. Lucian returned to SPINTEC in 2013 as the Deputy Director, and later became the Executive Director in 2016. In 2019, they took on a leadership role as the Head of the Department of Physics DEPHY at CEA, while also serving as the Director of the exploratory PEPR SPIN at CEA. Additionally, Lucian was elected as a member of the AdCOM of IEEE Magnetics in 2019.
Lucian Prejbeanu has a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Babes-Bolyai University, which they obtained from 1993 to 1997. Lucian then pursued a Master of Science degree in Material Science from Grenoble INP - UGA, which they completed from 1997 to 1998. Afterwards, they earned a PhD in Physics from the University of Strasbourg from 1998 to 2001. Recently, in 2015, Lucian Prejbeanu obtained a HDR (Habilitation de diriger les recherches) in Physics from Grenoble INP - UGA.

SPINTEC
Positioned at the crossroad of science and technology, SPINTEC (SPINtronique et TEchnologie des Composants) is one of the leading spintronics research laboratories worldwide. Ideally located on the MINATEC campus in Grenoble, SPINTEC gathers physicists and engineers from the academic and the industrial world. It was created in 2002 and rapidly expanded to reach 100 persons including 38 permanent staff and about 40 Ph.D. students, post-docs and international visitors. It is affiliated with CEA, CNRS and Univ. Grenoble Alpes. SPINTEC aims to bridge fundamental research and innovative technology in the emerging field of spin electronics. The international technology roadmap for semiconductors (ITRS) reckons a major role of spintronic devices in tomorrow’s semiconductor chips, with the potential to totally displace the stand alone (e.g. DRAM) and embedded memory market. Other fast-developing fields include magnetic field sensors and bio-applications. It is critical to be at the forefront of research, to generate a strong IP position and to establish the proper partnerships for technology transfer. SPINTEC's unique positioning brings together top-level scientists and engineers working in close collaboration to ensure that new paradigms can be swiftly translated into technology proof of concepts and functional devices. As such, the outcome of the laboratory is not only scientific publications, but also a coherent patents portfolio and implementation of relevant demonstrators. Whereas the fundamental research is mostly operated through collaborative funded projects with other research laboratories, the applied research is often carried out in partnership with private actors including Applied Materials, ST Microelectronics, Thales, Samsung, Seagate, …), SME’s (SNR, Singulus,…) or start-ups (Crocus, Menta, Spin Transfer Technologies,…). SPINTEC has spun-off several start-up companies: Crocus Technology in 2006, eVaderis in 2014, and HProbe and Antaïos in 2017.
