The event included a talk by physicist Johan Mentink from the Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) at uu77. The audience was actively engaged during the 1 hour talk and subsequent Q&A, and many of them stayed afterwards for discussions. "The lecture went really well. The audience was attentive, with many diverse questions, which created a nice and dynamic atmosphere", Mentink says.
A recording of the event will soon be available on YouTube.
Ultrafast dynamics of magnetism
Johan Mentink is an expert in magnetism, researching new magnetic effects to enable faster and more energy-efficient information storage and processing with reduced computational demands. He is an Assistant Professor within the Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Correlated Materials group. This group is part of IMM and studies the ultrafast dynamics of condensed matter systems, focusing on the theoretical description and numerical simulation of (quantum) many-body effects in magnetism.
