Department of Physics Kicks Off Seminar Series with Talk on Magnetoelectric Materials

April 25, 2025 | COMSATS University Islamabad

The Department of Physics at COMSATS University Islamabad proudly inaugurated its 2025 Seminar Series with a compelling lecture delivered by Prof. Dr. Sadia Manzoor, a distinguished faculty member of the department. The event was held on Friday, April 25th, and drew enthusiastic participation from faculty, researchers, and students across various disciplines.

In her talk, titled “Magnetoelectric Materials: Intertwining Electric and Magnetic Realms,” Prof. Manzoor explored the extraordinary coupling of electric and magnetic properties in specialized materials, a field at the forefront of condensed matter physics and materials science.

The presentation delved into both naturally occurring and artificially engineered magnetoelectric (ME) materials, emphasizing:

  • Composite systems, such as magnetic nanopillars embedded within different matrices
  • Reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based nanostructures with promising multifunctional behavior
  • Insights into the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect and its role in modern data storage technologies
  • Theoretical frameworks including large polaron tunneling models, used to interpret charge transport phenomena in complex media

Prof. Manzoor’s expert insights offered attendees a thorough understanding of the evolution, mechanisms, and technological implications of ME materials. The seminar sparked engaging discussions, paving the way for future research collaborations within the department and beyond.

This inaugural session marks the beginning of a series of research-focused events designed to foster academic dialogue and innovation. The Department of Physics looks forward to hosting more sessions that connect fundamental research with real-world applications.

Seminar: "Hunting the Invisible – Supersymmetry and the Mystery of Dark Matter"

 Hosted by: Department of Physics, COMSATS University Islamabad
 Speaker: Prof. Dr. Mario Emilio Gómez – University of Huelva, Spain
Date: [5 May 2025]
 Venue: [EE Seminar Hall]


The Department of Physics at COMSATS University Islamabad proudly hosted an intellectually enriching seminar by Prof. Dr. Mario Emilio Gómez, a distinguished theoretical physicist from the University of Huelva, Spain. The seminar, titled "Hunting the Invisible – Supersymmetry and the Mystery of Dark Matter," offered attendees a front-row seat to the forefront of research in particle physics and cosmology.

In his compelling talk, Prof. Gómez tackled one of the universe’s most mystifying components—dark matter, the unseen mass that constitutes more than 80% of the matter in the universe. With clarity and enthusiasm, he introduced supersymmetry, a theoretical framework that proposes the existence of undiscovered particles, some of which could be the elusive constituents of dark matter.

Bridging the gap between collider physics and cosmic phenomena, Prof. Gómez illustrated how discoveries at high-energy particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can inform our understanding of the universe at the largest scales. His ability to simplify complex concepts sparked engaging discussions and piqued curiosity among faculty and students alike.

 The seminar concluded with an interactive Q&A session, where lively questions underscored the audience’s keen interest in the mysterious matter that shapes our universe.
