Program on Nanophysics and Spintronics

During the period of February 24 – March 25, 2014,
Amnon Aharony and Ora Entin from the Ben Gurion University and Tel Aviv University will be organizing a program on nanophysics and spintronics at the ICTP-SAIFR.

Visitors during this period will include:
Enrique V. Anda (PUC/Rio de Janeiro)
Carlos Balseiro (Centro Atómico Bariloche)
Carlos Egues (USP Sâo Carlos)
Gerson J. Ferreira (Univ. Fed. Uberlândia)
Yara Galvao Gobato (Univ. Fed. São Carlos)
Belita Koiller (Univ. Fed. Rio de Janeiro)
Caio Lewenkopf (Univ. Fed. Fluminese)
Gilmar Marques (Univ. Fed. São Carlos)
Sergio Rezende (Univ. Fed. de Pernambuco)
Luis Dias da Silva (USP São Paulo)
Edson Vernek (Univ. Fed. Uberlândia)

On March 13-14 (Thursday and Friday), a two-day workshop on nanophysics and spintronics will be organized in the IFT-UNESP auditorium. The workshop will begin at 10:00 on Thursday and finish at 17:00 on Friday. The workshop is open to everybody, including graduate students, and limited funds are available for participants. For more information, contact secretary@ictp-saifr.org, and if you would like to give a talk or present a poster, please contact Amnon Aharony at aaharonyaa@gmail.com
