Prof. Bozhko received NASA funding within the grant “A Magnetometer Based on Magneto-Optical Effects for Space Applications”. The three-year project focuses on the development of a miniature magnetometer based on a new magneto-optical approach that could transform how magnetic fields are measured in space.

Prof. Bozhko was named one of the winners of the “Nanoscience as Art” Contest at the IEEE NAP 2024 Conference, which was held in Riga, Latvia, from September 8 to 13, 2024.

The winning picture was obtained using magnetic Faraday effect microscopy imaging of magnetic domains induced in the Yttrium Iron Garnet/Barium Hexaferrite bilayer. Color was added at the processing stage proportional to the polarization rotation angle.

Our undergraduate student Kaitlin McAllister received NSF Graduate Research Fellowships Program (GRFP) funding! Congratulations!
