Dr. Daniela Zanchet
Full Professor, Institute of Chemistry, Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Brazil.
Dr. Daniela Zanchet
Full Professor, Institute of Chemistry, Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Brazil.
Prof. Zanchet obtained her bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering at the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil and M. Sc and Dr. Sc in Physics at University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. She was a post-doctoral fellow at the Chemistry Department of University of Berkeley, USA and later, a visiting scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. She was a researcher and group leader at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory for 10 years working in nanomaterials, including magnetic nanoparticles, and advanced characterization techniques. Prof. Zanchet currently serves as a Full Professor and Deputy Director of the Institute of Chemistry – UNICAMP. Her recent focus expanded to catalytic materials targeting lignocellulosic derivates conversion to biofuels and chemicals, and the catalytic conversion of CO2 to chemicals. She is Associate Editor of ACS Journal of Chemistry of Materials since 2022.

Dr. Roy Chantrell
University of York. United Kingdom.
Professor, School of Physics, Engineering and Technology, The University of York, UK
Prof. Chantrell has made numerous contributions to the theory of magnetism and of the effects of thermal fluctuations on magnetisation reversal. In 2018 he was recipient of the achievement award of the IEEE Magnetics Society, which is the highest award of the society. His career has been primarily as an academic, and during some 40 years he has developed a group carrying out research into magnetic materials which is internationally recognized. In 2001 he moved to Seagate research (Pittsburgh) to establish and lead a theory group, where he initiated pioneering research into the development of atomistic calculations with parametrised ab-initio information. This was applied especially to FePt recording media, to an understanding of the physics of heat assisted magnetic recording, and to the development of atomistic models of read elements. He was the recipient of a Seagate Technical Achievement Award in 2004. In august 2004 he was appointed to a chair of Condensed Matter Theory at the University of York, UK, where he established a computational magnetism group which specialises in the development of atomistic models of nanostructured materials, including nanoparticles and structured films. He is also developing advanced models of magnetic nanoparticle systems with special emphasis on understanding the physics of magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia.
Prof. Chantrell was Editor of the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (1987-2014), and is managing Editor of the Journal of Spin. In 1994 he was honoured as the Wohlfarth Lecturer and was Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Magnetics Society in 1999/2000.
Dr. Jose A. De Toro
Professor, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
Dr. Jose A. De Toro
Professor, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
Prof Jose A. De Toro leads the Applied Nanomagnetism (ApNano) Group since its creation a decade ago at the IRICA Institute in Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, with current, mainly fundamental, interest in dense systems of magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites. He has been a postdoc Marie Curie fellow at the University of Liverpool, and Visiting Professor at Cagliari, USF-Tampa, CNRS-Strasbourg and Sydney. Prof. De Toro has given invited talks at ICFPM, APS and ACS conferences, among others, and chaired several symposia on nanoparticles and critical raw materials. His main research lines have been: (a) exchange bias (in both chemically uniform and core/shell structured particles), and (b) magnetism of dense particle systems prepared either by gas-phase or chemical synthesis. Recent highlights include the demonstration of simultaneous individual and collective properties in particle systems, the prediction of “supermagnetostriction” in self-assembled nanocube systems, insight into the role of local anisotropy in collective magnetism, or the finding of non-exchange bias in soft/hard binary particle systems.
Dr. Gerardo F. Goya
Professor, University of Zaragoza, Spain
Dr. Gerardo F. Goya
Professor, University of Zaragoza, Spain
Prof. Gerardo F. Goya (Mar del Plata, Argentina) completed his PhD at the University of La Plata and Centro Atómico Bariloche, Argentina. From 2001 to 2007, he was an Associate Professor at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, where he established the mechanochemistry lab in the Materials Physics Department. In 2005, he joined the University of Zaragoza (UZ) through a Ramón y Cajal grant, initiating a research line on nanomagnetism and biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles, primarily magnetic hyperthermia. Currently, a senior researcher and Associate Professor at UZ, his work has led to key advances, including new methods for synthesizing magnetic nanoparticles, developing a "Trojan Horse" strategy for oncology, and studying the interaction of magnetic particles with infectious biological models. He has also led the development of a unique benchtop device for magnetic hyperthermia measurements, which became the basis for the spin-off company nB Nanoscale Biomagnetics S.L. Prof. Goya has over 180 publications (h-index=49), more than 8500 citations, 2 PCT patents, and over 120 conference presentations, including more than 40 invited talks.
Dr. Davide Peddis
Professor, University of Genova, Italy
Dr. Davide Peddis
Professor, University of Genova, Italy
Davide Peddis (PhD in Physical Chemistry, 2007) is a Full Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Genova and a Class A Associate Researcher at CNR-ISM. His research is situated at the intersection of Solid State Physical Chemistry and Condensed Matter Physics, with a particular focus on understanding the relationships between physical properties and the morpho-structural characteristics of magnetic nano-heterostructures. Dr. Peddis has co-authored over 190 peer-reviewed publications (h-index: 45; ~6,300 citations), 6 book chapters, and more than 390 scientific communications (76 invited talks). He also co-edited New Trends in Nanoparticle Magnetism (Springer, 2021). He has been involved in 25 funded research projects at both national and international levels (5 as PI, 12 as local P.I.).
