Yvan J. Bruynseraede (born 1938 in Ostend, Belgium) is a condensed matter experimental physicist, known for his work on multilayers and superlattices, and his interests are thin films, nanostructures, novel materials, magnetism, and superconductivity.
Yvan Bruynseraede graduated (Belgian Licentiate) in 1961 from the KULeuven where he received his PhD in Physics in 1967, after a two-year interruption for military service.
He held visiting positions at Université Côte d'Azur, Nice, France; the Argonne National Laboratory, US; and the University of California at San Diego, US.
He performed research on thin films,[1] multilayers and superlattices,[2] studying superconducting Josephson phenomena, tunneling and vortices;[3] superconducting/magnetic interactions; X-ray structural analysis[4] and SPM techniques applied to surfaces and interfaces.
[5] His research activities resulted in more than 450 publications in international scientific journals, 100 Invited talks, and the promotorship of 35 PhD and 70 MSc theses.
