INSTITUTIONAL SEMINAR
Seminar on Nanomagnetism given by the Vice-Rector of the University of Santiago, Chile
IMIT Transcends Borders: Successful Seminar with the Vice-Rector of the University of Santiago, Chile Last Wednesday, December 3, the Institute of Modeling and Technological Innovation (IMIT - CONICET/UNNE) held an important session of its 2025 Seminar Series. This activity, which reaffirmed the Institute's international reach, demonstrated that IMIT transcends borders by strengthening ties with globally renowned institutions.
On this occasion, we had the honor of welcoming one of the leading academic authorities in experimental physics in the region: Dr. Juan Escrig Murúa, current Vice-Rector and Full Professor at the University of Santiago, Chile (USACH). His participation underscores the relevance and scope of this seminar series.
The session, entitled "Nanomagnetism: Designing Small Magnets for Future Applications," was presented and moderated by the distinguished Dr. Noelia Bajales Luna, who conducted the event and the subsequent question-and-answer session with expertise and academic rigor.
Dr. Escrig Murúa—who also previously served as Dean of the Faculty of Science at that university—captivated the audience present in the Seminar Room of the Faculty of Exact Sciences (UNNE) and those who joined virtually. The renowned physicist and leading figure in spintronics explained how manipulating matter at the nanoscale (such as nanowires and nanotubes) allows for the creation of materials with revolutionary properties, sharing the cutting-edge advances of his Nanomagnetism Laboratory.
The visit of Vice-Rector Escrig Murúa not only marked a scientific milestone but also strengthened cooperative ties with Chile, demonstrating IMIT's commitment to the advancement of science internationally.
