Dr. Vincent Cros is CNRS senior researcher at the Laboratoire Albert Fert, CNRS, Thales, Université Paris-Saclay located in Palaiseau, France. He is deputy Director of this lab since January 2020. His research activities concern magnetization dynamics and spin torque phenomena as well as its related potential applications for example for radiofrequency spintronic devices. In the last decade, he has focused his studies on nonlinear phenomena and synchronization of spin torque nano-oscillators; Spin transfer dynamics generated by spin-orbit torques and more recently the physics of magnetic skyrmions in nanostructures. He has been coordinated several national, European and international projects, including the large national project on spintronics called PEPR SPIN, being part on the France 2030 investment plan.

In 2013, he received the Carnot prize from the French Academy of Sciences for his work in spintronics. Since 2021, he is among the Clarivate^TM Highly Cited Researchers.
