Kjetil M. D. Hals is a postdoc at the NBIA. He is Norwegian and received both his Master degree (2007) and PhD degree (2011) in theoretical physics at NTNU, Trondheim, Norway, with Professor Arne Brataas as a supervisor.
Kjetil has previously worked as a researcher at Christian Michelsen Research in Bergen and as a postdoc at NTNU, before joining NBIA in 2014.
His main research area is Spintronics and his research is currently focused on helical spin textures formed in one-dimensional (1D) interacting electron systems. These 1D magnets represent a completely new quantum state of matter and are currently attracting considerably interest because they have been proposed as a basis for creating topological superconductors, with potential use for quantum computation.
