Jean-Paul Adam has defended his PhD in 2008 about magnetization dynamics in perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnetic thin films. After a post-doctorate position at Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials in Groningen, he has been recruited at C2N, Palaiseau, FRANCE, in the NOMADE team headed by T. Devolder. He is in charge of technological developments such as the processing of devices and the sample growth optimization , and of the Kerr microscopy experimental development in order to study magnetic domain wall dynamics with a focus on their chiral nature induced by the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. In the frame of non-reciprocal propagation of chiral domain walls, he got interested how flexural domain wall motion can transform domain walls as a natural and tuneable channel for spin waves and in spin-wave dynamics.
