Professional profile
Assoc. prof. Erik Cizmar, Ph.D. graduated and obtained his Ph.D. in 2001 at P.J. Safarik University in Kosice (UPJS), Slovakia, and started his career at the UPJS. Shortly after, in 2002-2003 he was awarded the NSF-NATO fellowship at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Fl., USA working on magneto-optic studies of thin layers of Prussian-blue analogs and the development of low-temperature probe for solid-state NMR spectrometer. After the return to UPJS, he continued his research in the field of low-dimensional magnetic systems based on coordination compounds of transition metal ions. In 2006-2008 he was appointed at the Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Dresden, Germany, working on the construction of a high-frequency high-field EPR spectrometer aimed for the study of quantum magnets related to the Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons and topological transitions in two-dimensional magnets. After the return back to UPJS he continued his career as a Senior Scientist focusing on research of low-dimensional magnets, relaxation phenomena in molecular magnets, magnetic nanoparticles, and magnetic molecules with a focus on the future technologies for quantum computing. He is a lead person in the laboratory for magnetic measurements and EPR spectroscopy at UPJS. He is skilled also in numerical simulations, specifically modeling of EPR spectra and ab initio calculations in magnetic molecules. He is a co-author of 150 CC articles with 950 citations.
E. Cizmar was elected to be a member of the Users Committee of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Tallahassee, Fl., USA, in the section Electron magnetic resonance for the period 2016-2018 and a member of the Scientific Board of the Institute of Experimental Physics of Slovak Academy of Science in Kosice, Slovakia for the period 2021-2025. He is/was a principal investigator of 4 domestic projects in Slovakia and a member of the project team in the other 15 projects in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, 3 NSF projects in the USA, European projects DeNUF, Highly frustrated magnets, and Cryocourse. He was awarded 5 user-facility projects and short-term fellowships in the frame of the EuroMagNET II program.
At UPJS, E. Cizmar is also a lecturer for the study program Physics of Condensed Matter teaching several classes: Low-Temperature Physics, Vacuum Physics, Graphical Programming in Labview, Numerical Methods for Magnetochemistry, Data Processing for Physicists, Quantum Computing, Macroscopic Quantum Systems, etc.. He is or was a supervisor of 4 Ph.D. students.
