Young Researchers in Magnetism 2025 meeting

Last August 5th–7th, we had the pleasure of participating in Young Researchers in Magnetism, an event that brings together students and leading researchers from Spain and around the world.
Our group was actively involved in the organization, with Jose A. De Toro serving as Secretary and Ricardo López Antón as Treasurer of CEMAG. We were also proud to see our former student and now collaborator Raúl López Martín, together with our student Moi Medina, contributing as members of the student committee.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this event a success, and we look forward to continuing to build collaborations and inspire new ideas in the field of magnetism.

🎓 PhD Studentship Opportunity in Nanoscience – ApNano Group, UCLM

The Applied Nanomagnetism (ApNano) Group at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (Ciudad Real, Spain) is seeking a highly motivated candidate to pursue a PhD in Nanoscience. The project focuses on:

“Nanoparticle-Assembled Films for Nanostructured Neuromorphic Devices”

Key details:

  • Application deadline: Open
  • Start date: October 2025
  • Duration: 4 years
  • Supervision: Dr Panagiotis Grammatikopoulos
  • Location: ApNano Group Lab, University of Castilla-La Mancha

Project highlights:

  • Investigation of nanoparticle-assembled thin films close to and beyond the electrical percolation threshold.
  • Study of resistive switching due to stochastic formation/destruction of nanojunctions or grain boundary movements.
  • Integration of experimental and theoretical approaches in nanoparticle synthesis, characterization, and modeling.

Learning outcomes:

  • Mastery of nanoparticle deposition and characterization techniques, computer simulations, and theoretical modeling.
  • Familiarization with research ethics, scientific writing, and project management.
  • Development of soft skills: teamwork, effective communication, and dissemination of results.
  • Opportunity to publish research in international peer-reviewed journals.

Requirements:

  • Good first degree in Physics, Materials Science, or equivalent (MSc preferred).
  • Strong computational and English skills.
  • Experience in gas-phase nanoparticle synthesis, PVD, nanomaterial characterization, simulation, or AI/computational techniques is advantageous.

How to apply: Contact Dr. Panagiotis Grammatikopoulos at p.grammatikopoulos@uclm.es for more information.

Raúl López Martín presents his PhD thesis defense.

Last Tuesday, February 11, 2025, R. L. M. successfully defended his PhD thesis titled «Expanding the Nanomagnetism Chart: Non-Dipolar Interparticle Interactions and Non-Exchange Bias in Dense assemblies of Ferrimagnetic Nanoparticles «, by summarizing his excellent research work and masterfully answering the challenging questions posed by the thesis examining committee, he earned his doctoral degree.

Congratulations, Raul! May you continue to achieve success and best of luck in your future scientific endeavors!

Panagiotis Grammatikopoulos Joins ApNano Group

The ApNano research group is excited to announce a new member. Dr. Panagiotis Grammatikopoulos, a renowned expert in nanoscience and nanotechnology, has joined the team, bringing extensive experience in nanoparticle research and applications.

Dr. Grammatikopoulos has built an impressive career focused on the theoretical elucidation of fundamental nanotechnology processes such as nanoparticle growth, coalescence, cluster-support interaction, and the impact of structure on optical, chemical, electronic, and magnetic properties. His expertise strengthens the group’s research in magnetic nanostructures and their applications in energy, sensors, and information storage. Welcome to Spain, ‘Panos’!
