Magnetic Materials and Technologies for Medical Applications

Prof. Alexander Tishin is a professor at M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, the founder of the AMT&C Group, and the Vice President of the Magnetic Society of Russia (MAGO). He is also a member of a row of working groups, the Supervisory Boards, and several organizing committees of international scientific and technological conferences. Prof. Tishin has authored and coauthored for 2 books, 3 book chapters, more than 200 scientific publications in refereed journals, and more than 50 patents. His works have given significant impulse in the development of magnetocaloric materials and magnetic refrigeration.
