A researcher in <spintronics> whose review with <Daniel Lacour> relates electrical resistance to the magnetic configuration of layered devices. A <magnetic tunnel junction> consists of two magnetic conductors separated by a thin insulating barrier; <quantum tunnelling> through the barrier depends on the electronic states available for each <electron spin>. This produces <tunnelling magnetoresistance>, illustrating how the magnetic state of a device can be read through an electrical measurement.<Spin dependent transport: GMR & TMR by Alain Schuhl and Daniel Lacour>[Introduction and tunnelling-magnetoresistance section: magnetic electrodes, insulating barrier and magnetization-dependent resistance]{ref}
