Nominator's project description
| Michael Coey has been professor of physics at Trinity College Dublin for 25 years, where he occupied the Chair which dates from 1724. He is a leader in the field of magnetism and magnetic materials. Recently he initiated the field of d0 magnetism, and earlier pioneered the study of rare earth amorphous magnets and discovered the first interstitial permanent magnet. Besides being an excellent scientist and teacher he also founded a company, Magnetic Solutions in 1994, was cofounder of CRANN, Ireland's nanoscience research institute in 2002, and conceived Dublin's unique Science Gallery in 2006. He is a member of the Royal Irish Academy (1987), a fellow of the Royal Society (2003) and a foreign associate of the US National Academy of Sciences (2005). Michael Coey comes to Germany at the invitation of Claudia Felser from the MPI for Chemical Physics of Solids, Dresden and Ludwig Schultz from the IFW Dresden to search for new rare-earth free permanent magnets |
