Ricardo Ibarra, winner of the Salvador Velayos Magnetism Award 2022
Ricardo Ibarra, researcher at the Instituto de Nanociencia y Materiales de Aragón (INMA), a joint institute of the CSIC and the University of Zaragoza, Full professor at the Condensaed Physics Department at Science Faculty of the University of Zaragoza, leading scientist and Honorary President of the Advanced Microscopy Laboratory (LMA), has been awarded the “Salvador Velayos 2022” prize by the Spanish Magnetism Club (CEMAG).
CEM, a prestigious national multidisciplinary association whose aim is to promote scientific and technological activities related to Magnetism, highlights Ibarra’s long research career. The jury’s decision recognises his important and outstanding career in Condensed Matter Physics, specifically in the field of massive magnetic materials and magnetic nanostructures with applications in spintronics and biomedicine.
Prof. M. Ricardo Ibarra’s research activity is developed in the fields of magnetism and magnetic properties of nanostructured materials. In recent years his research activity has also focused on the application of nanotechnology in biomedicine. He has coordinated 32 national and international R&D infrastructure and research projects in the field of magnetism and nanotechnology and their applications, with an overall financial support of 20,000,000 euros. Former President of the ELECMI Singular Scientific and Technical Facility dedicated to the analysis of materials at the atomic level, he is now Honorary Director of the LMA, ELECMI’s management and coordination centre.
The award ceremony took place on 18 November in Cadiz, during the CEM Annual Meeting.
