​​Johanna Fischer received the 2025 EMA Young Scientist Award for her work on magnetization textures in magnetic, antiferromagnetic and multiferroic materials, their manipulation by electric fields and currents, and their​ applications.

Johanna has been awarded for her early career: in 2017, she obtained a Master's degree from the German Walter-Meißner-Institut at the University of Munich; in 2020, she obtained the PhD for her joint work at CNRS and the Thalès industry in Orsay (now the Albert Fert laboratory); then she completed a post-doctorate at the SPINTEC​ laboratory, where she has held the position of Chargée de Recherche CNRS since 2022.

Johanna Fischer is currently conducting research into magnetic skyrmions, which are attracting a great deal of interest because they could be used in spintronics to store and process information on a nanometric scale. Skyrmions are localised spin 'textures' that can wind in two opposite directions, known as chiralities.
