Prof. Dr. Jordi Sort
Physics Department, Faculty of Sciences, Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), Spain;
Prof. Jordi Sort received his PhD Degree in Materials Science from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) in 2002 (Extraordinary Award). The topic of his PhD dissertation was the study of magnetic exchange interactions in ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic systems. He worked for two years as Postdoctoral Researcher at the SPINTEC Laboratory (Grenoble) and subsequently stayed six months at Argonne National Laboratory (USA). He also performed long-term secondments at the Grenoble High Magnetic Fields Laboratory (five months) and at Los Alamos National Laboratory (four months). At present, Prof. Sort leads the “Group of Smart Nanoengineered Materials, Nanomechanics and Nanomagnetism (Gnm3)” at UAB, which focuses its research activities on the synthesis of a wide variety of functional materials (electrodeposited films, lithographed structures, porous materials, bulk metallic glasses, nanocomposites) and the study of their structural, mechanical, magnetic, and thermal properties. This research aims at enhancing the performance of these materials in new technological applications that go beyond the state of the art. Prof. Sort’s research activity was awarded by the Catalan Physical Society (Jordi Porta i Jué’s Prize, 2000), as well as by the Spanish Royal Physical Society (Young Researcher Award in Experimental Physics, 2003) and the Federation of Materials Societies (FEMS Prize in Materials Science & Technology, 2015) and UPC/Naturgy (Duran Farell Award for Technological Research, 2020). Prof. Sort has supervised 15 PhD Theses and is currently co-supervising the work of 5 more PhD students. So far, Prof. Sort has published around 330 articles that have received approximately 9900 citations (h=49) in ISI Web of Science. He has issued 6 patents and has managed 32 national/international research projects. Prof. Sort has been personally appointed as Invited/Plenary Speaker in more than 80 conferences.
On Friday, 1 July 2022, MDPI and the Nanomaterials Journal organized the 7th webinar on Nanomaterials, entitled "Advanced Magnetoelectric Nanocomposites and Their Applications".
The introduction was held by the Chair of the webinar, Prof. Dr. Jordi Sort. He leads the “Group of Smart Nanoengineered Materials, Nanomechanics and Nanomagnetism (Gnm3)” at UAB, which focuses its research activities on the synthesis of a wide variety of functional materials and the study of their structural, mechanical, magnetic, and thermal properties.
The first speaker was Dr. Aliona Nicolenco with her presentation "Nanoporous Magnetoelectric Materials". Since January 2021, she is a postdoctoral Marie Curie fellow based at Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain. The second presentation was held by Dr. Julius de Rojas with his presentation "Magneto-Ionic Control of Magnetism: Oxygen vs Nitrogen Systems". He is currently a postdoctoral research associate at Durham University studying magnonics and spin-wave devices in the group of Prof. Adekunle Adeyeye. The third presenter Dr. Alberto Quintana presented "Magneto-Ionic Control of Magnetism: The Hydrogen and Hydroxide Approaches". He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona where he carries out research in the field of photoresponsive oxides, in the synthesis and characterization of magnetic materials and the voltage control of their magnetic properties.
The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair Prof. Dr. Jordi Sort. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend.
