The prize was given for his pioneering work on domain wall dynamics in magnetic nanowires and contributions to the development of current controlled magnetism in magnetic heterostructures using spin orbit effects. His work has contributed to advancing the understanding of electrical control of the magnetization direction of nanoscale magnets, which is a crucial technology for next generation information storage and computation devices.
The medals are presented every three years, and he was awarded at the 20th International Conference on Magnetism(ICM) held at the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain on July 5-10, 2015.
