Petaspin – Home

MISSION

Petaspin is an Italian association whose main missions are:

(i) to support scientific research in many fields of engineering and applied physics, related to magnetism and spintronics

(ii) to support a Global Value Chain for the technological transfer of spintronic technology

(iii) to support the free dissemination of scientific results through conferences and meetings, also organized in collaboration with other institutions and associations.

Petaspin, co-sponsored by the University of Messina (Prot. 32364 from 4/5/2017)), was founded in 2017 in Messina, Italy. Since then, it has organized several international meetings, which have been successful among the participants and has supported SME to start considering spintronic-based solution for their business.

In 2020, due to Covid-19 pandemic, Petaspin has set up a platform for virtual dissemination of scientific results through online seminars which have involved scientists from all around the world. The association, in addition to its members, includes a virtual community whose members support the development and the validation of numerical tools, for scientific scopes.

STORY

Petaspin was founded on February 12^th, 2018, from an idea of Giovanni Finocchio, associate professor of Electrical Engineering at the Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Physical Sciences and Earth Sciences (MIFT) of the University of Messina, Italy.

The founding members of Petaspin are:

Giovanni Finocchio, since then President of the Association;

Vito Puliafito, vice-President and Secretary of the Association, associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Politecnico di Bari, Italy;

Anna Giordano, assistant professor of Electrical Engineering at the Department of Engineering of the University of Messina, Italy;

Mario Carpentieri, full professor of Electrical Engineering at Politecnico di Bari, Italy.
