Stéphane Mangin is a professor and researcher specializing in spin electronics and nanomagnetism. His work focuses on manipulating magnetization at the nanoscale using various stimuli, including magnetic fields, electric currents, spin currents, and light. He holds a PhD in physics from the Université Joseph Fourier in Grenoble and currently serves as a professor at the Université de Lorraine, where he led the Spintronics and Nanomagnetism research team from 2010 to 2025 within the Institut Jean Lamour.

Stéphane is deeply committed to science outreach, engaging with audiences ranging from schoolchildren to academic researchers and industry professionals. As a member of the steering committee of the World Materials Forum, where he contributes to bridging the gap between research and industry. He is also active in several professional societies, including the French Physical Society , the American Physical Societyand the IEEE Magnetics Society where he currently chairs the French chapter. In 2026, he will serve as General Chair of the Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM) Conference in Honolulu Stéphane Mangin has been recognized for his scientific contributions through numerous honors. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2018), the IEEE Magnetics Society (2021), Churchill College at the University of Cambridge (2021) and the European Academy of Sciences (2025). In 2024, he was also appointed as a member of the prestigious Institut Universitaire de France for the third time.

He is co-founder of the French–US International Associated Laboratory on Nanoelectronics, established with UC San Diego, and served as scientific director of TUBE-Davm from 2012 to 2025, a unique 70-meter ultra-high vacuum facility designed for the atomic-scale growth and characterization of materials.
