The IUPAP Commission on Magnetism (C9) is pleased to announce that Dr. Dongwook Go will be the recipient of the 2025 IUPAP Early Career Scientist Prize in Magnetism for 'Pioneering theoretical studies of the emerging field of orbitronics, which concerns the generation and transport of electron orbital angular momentum in solids'.
Dr. Dongwook Go is a researcher at Forschungszentrum Jülich 
and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. He received his PhD in Physics from POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) with a thesis “Orbital Dynamics and Transport in Spintronics” under the supervision of Prof. Hyun-Woo Lee. After a year as a postdoctoral fellow in the same group, he has been a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof. Yuriy Mokrousov since 2020. His research explores the fundamental physics of orbitronics, focusing on the generation, transport, and interaction of orbital angular momentum, as well as the prediction of novel materials that host exotic orbitronic phenomena.
The award will be presented at the 2027 International Conference on Magnetism (ICM2027), to be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, during June 13 – 18, 2027.
