IEEE International Magnetics Virtual Conference 26-30 April 2021 CONFERENCE PROGRAM @intermagconf SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE The INTERMAG 2021 Conference was due to be held in Lyon, France, 26-30 April 2021. Unfortunately, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic crisis meant that there was considerable uncertainty about the ability and willingness of our attendees to travel internationally. Owing to this uncertainty, the INTERMAG 2021 Management Committee, with the approval of the IEEE Magnetics Society Conference Executive Committee, decided to change the conference format from a face-to-face meeting to a virtual one. With that said, we are excited to bring you the INTERMAG 2021 Virtual Conference! The program will consist of prerecorded talks that will be made available to registered attendees on-demand starting 19 April 2021. To best serve our global community, the Conference will schedule live programming, including Q&A sessions, during the four “golden global hours,” or "Zones" as follows: Zone 1: Best for Asia (morning) and US (evening of the day before) Zone 2: Best for Europe and Asia Zone 3: Best for Europe, Asia and Eastern US Zone 4: Best for Europe and US All live events and sessions will be recorded and together with all the prerecorded content, made available to registered attendees, along with all the prerecorded content, until 30 June 2021 (60 days after the Conference ends). Attendees are highly encouraged to view the prerecorded talks beginning 19 April and submit questions to the presenters via the chat boards. Presenters will be monitoring these chat boards daily. Live Sessions will take place during the Conference week, 26-30 April. These live sessions will be for Special Sessions, Symposia Invited Talks, Focus Sessions, and the Plenary and Awards Session, and will include brief summary talks followed by live Q&A. Again, attendees are highly encouraged to watch the prerecorded talks and submit questions in advance. Note that contributed oral and poster sessions will hold Q&A via the chat boards only. SPECIAL SESSIONS Tutorial: Magnetism and the Environment Session Chair: Johannes Paulides (AE Group) Live Session - Monday, 26 April 9:00 pm CST (Asia) 3:00 pm CEST (Europe) 8:00 am CDT (US) This Tutorial will feature three prerecorded invited talks available on-demand starting 19 April 2021. During the Live Session, the speakers will each give a brief summary of their talk, followed by a live Q&A. Electricity is the best suited vector of energy to meet the challenges of our societies. It allows an increase in energy efficiency and a reduction in polluting emissions. Electric machines are one of the most important, if not the most important, components of electrical energy production and conversion process. They are present upstream and downstream from this process. Upstream, electric generators allow converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. They can be found in power plants, wind turbines, in motor vehicles, and aircrafts. Downstream, motors and electric actuators allow converting electrical energy into mechanical work. The symposium will provide a state-of-the-art on electric machines and actuators and different aspects related to electric machines and actuators analysis, design and applications. The emphasis is on newly developed structures, and new challenging applications, such as high temperature superconducting machines, hybrid excited synchronous machines, high power density electric machines, high speed machines, offshore wind turbine generators, racing car traction, and maglev trains both from an academic and industrial point of view. Attendees are highly encouraged to view the prerecorded talks beginning 19 April and submit questions via the chat boards. Presenters will be monitoring these chat boards daily and will also answer questions during the live session.

Live Session: Tuesday, 27 April 4:30 pm CST (Asia) 10:30 am CEST (Europe) 3:30 am CDT (US) Biological applications of magnetic fields and magnetic materials cover a variety of research areas from human and animal health through food safety to environmental issues. Magnetism contributes to proposed solutions for detection, diagnosis and prognosis, and for therapy or treatment. While some of these applications show promise, others are already a reality. This symposium will gather successful cases in which magnetism is used for life sciences. We will learn how far we are in magnetic neurostimulation, imaging, biosensing, or cancer fight. This session will attract specialists in magnetic sensors, fluids and rheology, nanomaterials or micromagnetics, and an audience interested in finding out more on how magnetism can contribute to health and life care. The invited lectures will cover hot topics of biomedical applications of magnetism: - Fast low-cost magnetic resonance imaging as an alternative to X-radiation for hard tissue: How far are we from seeing this in dental clinics? - Tumor therapy by magnetic particle vibrations - Imaging and quantifying transition metal ion in human brain for early detection and diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders YB: Magnetorheological Composite Materials and Applications Live Session: Tuesday, 27 April 10:30 pm CST (Asia) 4:30 pm CEST (Europe) 9:30 am CDT (US) This focus session seeks to highlight key new advances in the field of magnetorheological composite materials (MCMs). MCMs are composites that disperse magnetic particles, such as ferromagnetic spherical particles, flakes, or rods, in a matrix material that can vary from a lightly viscous fluid to a highly viscous grease, to a soft polymer or viscoselastic solid.
