What is the perfect recipe for semiconductors? Vanya Darakchieva is working on the answer in her research on novel semiconductor materials. As a professor of solid state physics at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH), she is a “research chef” designing the future cookbook for sustainable and safe electronics.

This new way of designing nano magnets was supported through resources at the Materials Physics Division of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, MyFab Uppsala, and the Tandem Laboratory and was achieved in four steps.
