Dr. Valeria Rodionova entered the shortlist for the Materials Today Agents of Change Awards 2019. Each year the Materials Today Agents of Change awards recognise initiatives that are taking practical steps to encourage a more inclusive materials science research community. The focus of the 2019 awards is initiatives and programmes that focus on driving gender equality within the materials science research community.
On a webpage of Agents of Change 2019 shortlist are written:
“Dr. Valeria Rodionova launch of a series of colloquia addressing specific challenges that women face in undertaking research in materials science. They would be held in schools and universities across the Kaliningrad region of Russia.”
On a special webpge dedicated to Dr. Valeria Rodionova initiative are written:
“The laboratory members promote gender equality and provide different activities directed to solving the problem of women representation in science. This year the laboratory won the prize of the best poster presentation at the Inspiring Women in Science event held at The International Conference on Fine Particle Magnetism -2019 (Gijón, Spain)[read more here].
…
The aim of the proposed initiative is to encourage young girls (pupils or students) to choose doing research and take jobs in materials science and, more generally, in STEM(Science, Techology,Engeneering and Mathematics).”
We congratulate Dr.Valeria Rodionova on her well-deserved inclusion in the Agents of Change Awards 2019 shortlist and express hope in her further fruitful activity on driving gender equality within the materials science research community🎉🎉🎉.

From October 23 to December 17, 2019, bachelor student of the Laboratory of New Magnetic Materials Savin Valeriy under the project 5-100 completed the internship in the University of the Basque Country, San Sebastian, Spain. Under the guidance of a professor Arkady Zhukov at the Laboratory of Magnetism the student was studying methods for researching the magnetic characteristics of ferromagnetic microwires, the dynamic characteristics of the domain wall during the magnetization reversal of bistable microwires, as well as factors that influence the change in these characteristics.
Valeriy Savin:
“This internship is my first international trip as part of my work in the Laboratory of New Magnetic Materials and very significant experience for me. Due to this trip, I was able to study in detail the dynamic parameters of the domain wall during the magnetization reversal of microwires, I learned a lot about microwires themselves and their magnetic characteristics. While working with the team of Professor Arkady Zhukov, I studied in more detail the processes of measuring various properties of microwires, because microwires are very small and quite fragile, so working with them is a very delicate process. I am sure that the experience gained during the internship will play a very important role in my future researches .”
This internship was supported by the Project 5-100 of IKBFU(http://eng.kantiana.ru/5-100/).
23 October -14 November, 2019

Valeria Kolesnikova improved her knowledge in the domain structure of microwires and made a set of measurements under the leadership of Dr. Ivan Soldsov.
Valeria Kolesnikova:
“Thanks to this internship, I learned more about the KERR-microscopy and the micromagnetic structures. It was a pleasure for me to work with Prof. Rudolf Schäfer’s group. Thanks to Project 5-100 and IKBFU for this opportunity! “
This internship was supported by the Project 5-100 of IKBFU(http://eng.kantiana.ru/5-100/).
