The Outstanding Research Award for Engineering and Technology was awarded to Undergraduate student Adam Alper for his entry into the RISE 2020 competition. Over the course of four months, Adam designed and created a research tool, named the “Magnetic Tweezer” to make it easier to Read More ...

The 2019 MIE Ferretti and Yamamura fellowship (teaching category) was awarded to Xiaoyu (Criss) Zhang, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Northeastern University.   Since Criss entered the MIE Ph.D. program in Fall 2016, he has been actively engaged in Read More ...

Congratulations to Criss Zhang, who won the judges’ choice with his poster “Estimating the in-operando stabilities of AlFe2B2-based compounds for magnetic refrigeration” in the MIE annual event – 2018 Research Poster & Engineering-as-Art Expo/Competition. This poster presents some recent experimental results concerning AlFe2B2-based magnetocaloric compounds, which is Read More ...

The Nanomagnetism group just returned from a 5-day trip to Argonne National Lab's Advance Photon Source. While there, they studied the structure of numerous crystalline materials using a high-energy synchrotron X-ray beam (beam line 33-BM-C) and a 6-circle goniometer. With this advanced instrument and intense Read More ...

  The Nanomagnetism Group would like to congratulating Ian J McDonald on the successful defense of his Ph.D. dissertation, “Designing Magnetic Anisotropy in Ferrous Alloys”.

  Interdisciplinary PhD student Ian J McDonald of the Nanomagnetism Group, led by ChE/MIE Professor Laura H. Lewis, won the Judge's Choice in the "Magnetism as Art" Showcase at the Annual Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials held this year in Pittsburgh, PA. His image, entitled "Flux", shows Read More ...

The nanomagnetism group would like to recognize and congratulate Juan Mesa, a recent REU student of ours, for receiving the Best Poster Award at the REU student research showcase.

ChE & MIE Professor Laura Lewis was selected as an American Physical Society fellow. The criterion for election is exceptional contributions to the physics enterprise; e.g., outstanding physics research, important applications of physics, leadership in or service to physics, or significant contributions to physics education.
