AG Magnonik Group Seminar – Winter Semester 2026/2027

The AG Magnonik Group Seminar, organized by Prof. Philipp Pirro, continues during the winter semester 2026/2027 at RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau.

The seminar provides a platform for presenting and discussing ongoing research, recent developments, and scientific challenges in the fields of magnonics, spin dynamics, and related topics.

📅 When: Mondays at 11:00 AM
📍 Where: Building 76 (LASE), Rooms 276–277 (Conference Room)

The program features presentations by group members covering a broad range of research topics, including spin-wave excitation and propagation, spin-wave transducers, magnetic heterostructures, and magnetoacoustic phenomena.

Please note: The safety briefing on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, will take place at 1:00 PM.

The detailed seminar schedule, including speakers and presentation topics, is available below and will be updated throughout the semester.

Guests and interested researchers are warmly welcome!
