Manuel Vázquez

Manuel Vázquez serves as Research Professor at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) since 1996, leading the Nanomagnetism and Magnetization Processes Group at the Institute of Materials Science of Madrid (ICMM/CSIC), which he established in 2001. His institutional leadership includes founding the IEEE Magnetics Society Spain Chapter (2007) and serving as Society President (2017-2018).

He earned his Ph.D. from Complutense University of Madrid, followed by Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral research at Max-Planck-Institute für Metallforschung and Technical University of Denmark under a NATO grant. Additional leadership roles encompass Head of Laboratory at the Institute of Applied Magnetism (1992-2000) and Manager of Spain's Strategic Action on Nanoscience (2004-2009).

Professor Vázquez's research specializes in nano- and microwire magnetism, nanomagnetic structures, and magnetization dynamics. His prolific output includes over 600 publications, 23 patents, and editorship of Magnetic Nano- and Microwires (Elsevier, 2015/2020), establishing foundational knowledge in magnetic nanomaterials for spintronic applications.

Scientific Recognition:

• IEEE Magnetics Society Distinguished Service Award (2021)
• Salvador Velayos Award, Club Español de Magnetismo (2016)
• Program Chair, International Conference on Magnetism (2015)

He has supervised 35 Ph.D. students and numerous international researchers while directing major national nanotechnology initiatives. His laboratory at ICMM/CSIC maintains cutting-edge facilities for magnetic characterization of nanostructures, fostering collaborations across European magnetism networks and contributing to IEEE Magnetics Letters as Editorial Review Board member.
