Pavel Baláž is a researcher with longstanding interest in electronic transport in condensed matters, magnetism and magnetization dynamics. He graduated in general physics in 2006 at the University of P. J. Šafarik in Košice (Slovakia) and started PhD in frame of Marie Curie European Research Training Network “SpinSwitch” at A. Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland) under the supervision of Józef Barnaś. In the beginning of 2012 he received his Ph.D. with thesis entitled “Current-induced dynamics in magnetic nanopillars”. After that he worked at Institute of Molecular Physics of Polish Academy of Sciences in Poznań where he had been continuing his research in the topic of magnetization dynamics. His current interests are laser-induced electronic transport in magnetic metals, spin transfer torque and domain wall motion. During his study and scientific training he established strong colaborations with experimental and theoretical research groups leading to number of scientific publications and scientific contributions. He is coauthor of more the 25 peer-reviewed publications and a chapter in Handbook of Magnetic Materials (vol. 26) on laser-induced ultrafast magnetic phenomena. His current number of citations is 77 with H-index 5.
