Es un verdadero placer anunciar que Juan Rodríguez Carvajal ha sido el ganador del premio Walter Hälg 2025 concedido por la European Neutron Scattering Association.
Este premio reconoce una destacada aportación científica y/o técnica en el campo de la dispersión de neutrones con un fuerte impacto a largo plazo en el desarrollo y la evolución de dichas técnicas.
Juan ha recibido este galardón “in recognition of his exceptional contributions to neutron science through the development of FullProf which is widely used for Rietveld analysis of powder diffraction data for crystallographic and magnetic studies, and his continued efforts to advance the software in close collaboration with its user community”.
« Widely recognized as the “father of FullProf” — the globally renowned software for crystallographic and magnetic studies — Juan Rodriguez-Carvajal has made an extraordinary impact on the field. FullProf is among the most widely used programs for Rietveld analysis of powder diffraction data. Juan Rodríguez-Carvajal is not only an exceptional scientist with profound instrumental expertise, but also possesses deep insight into the underlying physics of neutron scattering, particularly in the realm of strongly correlated materials. He actively shares his knowledge through training courses and schools worldwide, and continues to develop FullProf in close collaboration with its user community, advancing the software in step with scientific and technological progress ».
Desde la SETN queremos transmitirle nuestra más sincera enhorabuena por tan merecido reconocimiento.
