Inaugural Magnetics Workshop
On May 7, 2025, Northeastern University’s Boston campus hosted the inaugural NU Cross-College Magnetics Center Workshop in the Raytheon Amphitheatre at the Egan Research Center. The event brought together approximately 60 participants from NU’s Boston, Burlington, and Portland campuses.
The NU Cross-College Magnetics Center, composed of 22 members from the College of Science, the College of Engineering, the Kostas Research Institute, and the Roux Institute, is dedicated to advancing magnetic science and technology through interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation.
The workshop featured four insightful tutorials by Laura Lewis, Ryan Koppes, Alberto De la Torre Duran, and George Hadjipanayis, along with two engaging technical talks from Xufeng Zhang and Paul Stevenson. A total of 29 posters were showcased across two sessions, with six Best Poster Awards selected by a panel of five judges.
A lively and thought-provoking career panel, moderated by Kin Chung Fong, featured discussions with panelists Greg Fiete, Zac Perry, Paul Stevenson, and Srinivas Tadigadapa.
This successful event was made possible through the generous support of the College of Science, the College of Engineering, AJA International, Quantum Design, and the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials.
