On Monday, March 30, 2026, the Department of General Biophysics at University of Łódź, together with the Łódź Branch of the Polish Biophysical Society, invites attendees to an open lecture by Prof. Hari Srikanth from the University of South Florida (USF, Department of Physics) titled Magnetic Anisotropy in Nanoparticles for Next-Generation Nanomedicine Applications.The lecture will focus on the role of magnetic anisotropy in nanoparticles and its impact on applications such as high-density data storage, spintronics, and nanomedicine. Prof. Srikanth will discuss strategies to optimize nanoparticle performance, including surface functionalization and novel structural designs like core-shell nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanotubes. These innovations are particularly relevant for improving MRI contrast and enhancing magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment.Prof. Srikanth, a Distinguished University Professor at USF, has over 325 publications with more than 13,400 citations. His research covers quantum materials, magnetic materials, and nanoscience. He is also the director of the Florida Institute of Emergent Low-Dimensional Quantum Materials (FIELD-QM) and has received numerous awards, including the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award and a Fulbright Scholarship.
