The seminar on Thursday, August 29th, 2024, at 16h05 at the Physics Department of Technical University Federico Santa Maria with the title “Molecular Dynamics Simulations as a Tool for Exploring Collective Dynamics of Small Molecules on Carbon-Based Layered Materials” by Igor Stanković from Senzor Infiz / Institute of Physics Belgrade. The seminar is supported through the ULTIMATE-I project by the European Union (Grant ID 101007825).

On Monday 12th August, Dr. Juan Carlos Rojas Sánchez presented his research as CNRS researcher and ULTIMATE-I project results as an ex-alumnus of Educational Institution 81030 “César Carrillo Gil” school.

During his visit, he shared with the students his inspiring trajectory and passion for magnetism, highlighting the importance of study, perseverance, and, above all, the habit of reading as key tools to achieve success. His message was a powerful incentive for the students in Peru to commit to reading, and continuous learning to achieve their goals.

With his visits, Dr. Rojas demonstrated how education and effort can transform lives and communities.
