Tzu-Hsiang Lo has been accepted into the IEEE Magnetics Society Summer School, which will be held in Bari, Italy during June 11–16, 2023.

Dr. Jinho Lim received the Post-Doctoral Travel Award from the Division of Materials Science of the American Physical Society to support his participation at the 2023 March Meeting.

The Web of Science has selected Axel Hoffmann as a Highly Cited Researcher in 2022, which is the fourth year in a row. The list recognizes leading researchers in the sciences and social sciences from around the world. It is based on an analysis of journal article publication and citation data, an objective measure of a researcher’s influence, from 2011-2021.  More details can be found in the Illinois News Feed.

Axel Hoffmann is once again part of the DOE-funded Energy Frontier Research Center on Quantum-Materials for Energy Efficient Neuromorphic-Comptuting (Q-MEEN-C), which is led by the University of California – San Diego. This center has been renewed for another four year with a total funding of $12.6M. Our main focus is to explore magnetic oscillating systems, which can form complex networks of dynamic systems that may resemble the functionalities found in the natural brain. A detailed description can be found in the accompanying news stories from UIUC and UCSD.

Our recent paper “Quantum materials for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing: Opportunities and challenges” has been featured by APL Materials, see the accompanying news story.

Our recent publication on “Dynamic fingerprints of synthetic antiferromagnet nanostructure with interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction” has been featured on the cover page of the Journal of Applied Physics.

Dreycen Foiles was awarded a DIGI-MAT Fellowship.  The DIGI-MAT program aims at educating graduate students in combining materials and data science.  As part of this fellowship Dreycen Foiles will investigate the use of magnetic skyrmions for more energy efficient novel computation approaches, while concurrently using machine learning techniques for developing new characterization methods for magnetic materials.

The IEEE Magnetics Society, Chicago Chapter announced that the 2021 IEEE Chicago Early Career Award in Magnetics will be awarded to Saima Siddiqui for her achievements in “novel magnetic systems for in-memory computing and neurotrophic devices”.  The award will be conferred during the 3rd Joint Annual Meeting of the IEEE Magnetics Society and Nanotechnology Chicago Chapters, which will be hosted virtually on December 3rd, 2021.

The American Physical Society announced that the 2022 David Adler Lectureship Award in the Field of Materials Physics will be awarded to Axel Hoffmann “For pioneering work, engaging lectures, and comprehensive reviews advancing the understanding of spin transport and magnetization dynamics in magnetic multilayers.”
