I started with my PhD at the HZDR High Magnetic Field Laboratory in June 2021. I have completed my Physics studies in Leipzig, Germany, where I have experienced the fascinating world of solid-state physics for the first time. My Bachelor work was based on exploration of transport properties of natural graphite lamellae, while in my Master work, I have investigated the newly discovered MgV center in diamond and its temperature properties. After I got the chance to do my PhD at HZDR‘s HLD, needless to say, that it was and still is very exciting. The state-of-the-art laboratory and scientific environment is helping me not only to expand my physics knowledge and capabilities, but also to grow as a scientist and a person. My work is based on the exploration of magnetic properties of pyrochlore spin-ice compounds, where defects are intentionally produced by means of irradiation. The goal of my work with these compounds is to help unlock their new possibilities and unravel the secrets of nature that they still hold.
