Prof. Andrii Chumak, head of the Nanomagnetism and Magnonics group at the University of Vienna, has been selected for the IEEE Magnetics Society Mid-Career Award 2026 for his foundational contributions to magnonics, spintronics, and magnon-based computing. The Society recognises his advances in understanding and engineering spin-wave excitations as platforms for next-generation information technologies.
The IEEE Magnetics Society is the leading international professional organisation for magnetism and related fields, advancing science, technology, applications, and training worldwide. Its vision is to serve as the global home for professionals in magnetism and to foster exchange across the community.
The Mid-Career Award is a single annual honour presented across the worldwide magnetism community, recognising outstanding research and technological contributions in fields represented by the Society. The prize includes a monetary award, travel support to the ceremony, and life membership in the IEEE Magnetics Society.
Prof. Chumak is a full professor of Experimental Solid-State Physics at the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna. He received his PhD in Radiophysics in 2009 from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and previously led a research sub-group at TU Kaiserslautern, supported by an ERC Starting Grant. His research focuses on nanoscale and quantum magnonics, spintronics, and advanced magnetic phenomena, with an emphasis on spin-wave approaches to future computing and information processing.
