Marion A. van Midden Mavrič is a principal investigator in the Scanning Probe Microscopy Lab at JSI, where she is establishing her own research group. Her work focuses on surfaces of quantum materials, with the aim of understanding how interactions at the atomic and molecular levels lead to emergent states, their interplay, and the role defects play in influencing material properties. Recently, her research has shifted towards exploring the behavior of molecules on surfaces, particularly the spins of molecular radicals. She aims to understand how these spins are influenced by intermolecular interactions or interactions with the underlying substrate, with the goal of stabilizing and manipulating molecular spins for potential technological applications. In her research, Marion develops and employs cutting-edge scanning probe techniques, such as scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, alongside non-contact atomic force microscopy. In addition to her scientific work, she is a teaching assistant at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Ljubljana (FMF UL) and a dedicated mentor, providing her students with guidance and opportunities for their personal and academic growth, while fostering critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills.
