Jairo Sinova has been honored by the AvH Professorship award. This will see him relocate to Johannes Gutenberg Universität in Mainz, Germany as of January 2014. This new wonderful opportunity has been made possible by many friends at Mainz, particularly Prof. Mathias Kläui, and all over the world. A principal task that he will undertake is to establish a new kind of interdisciplinary center that focuses on bringing together new fields and disciplines researching spin-phenomena that are ready for a new level of interaction. The various press releases are here and here.
