Jairo Sinova

Sinova is an Alexander von Humboldt Professor of Physics at Johannes Gutenberg
Universität Mainz and director of the Spin Phenomenal Interdisciplinary Center (SPICE), and a
Senior Professor at the Texas A&M University. He has received the Alexander von HumboldtProfessorship Award, the Johannes Gutenberg Research Fellowship, the ERC Advance Synergy Grant, National Science Foundation’s Career Award, the Cottrell Scholar Award, and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Research highlights include the discovery of intrinsic spin Hall effect and development of a complete theory of anomalous Hall transport, prediction of the Néel spin-orbit torque for the electrical manipulation of antiferromagnets, and the discovery of altermagnetism (even-parity wave collinear magnetism), and unconventional odd-parity wave magnetism.
