​​Johanna Fischer has been awarded the EMA Young Scientist 2025 prize 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.
