Muireann is currently on her first research secondment of the BeMAGIC PhD program at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. These secondments are an integral part of international training networks (ITNs) as they offer a chance to further collaborations across Europe and learn from experts in the field. Muireann is working with Dr. Aliona Nicolenco in the group of Prof. Jordi Sort Viñas to test the magnetoelectric and magnetoionic properties of her VAN films.
