Transformation of Science Education in the Era of Generative AI: Tools, Practice, Risks, Future Scenarios

 

The aim of the event is to introduce attendees, through an expert lecture and a seminar, to how generative AI has genuinely affected education over the past three years, from what and how we teach to how students work, think, and submit their outputs. The starting point is more than three years of first-hand experience using AI in courses at UPJŠ. Using concrete examples from practice, the lecture will demonstrate where AI brings measurable added value for both teachers and students, where it creates new risks (especially in assessment and academic integrity), and what role it may play in transforming teaching in the coming years.

Magnetic Fluids and Magnetic Microwires: Functional Materials for Optical and Optosensoric Applications

The aim of the event is to introduce attendees, through an expert lecture and a seminar, to the magnetocaloric effect in the special TmB4 system. The micro-scale structures formed from magnetic fluid nanoparticles by an external physical field, and the transverse dimensions of magnetic microwires, fall within the range in which the interaction of such objects with electromagnetic radiation in the UV, VIS, and NIR regions of the spectrum can be observed, most often in the form of scattering and diffraction of optical radiation. These phenomena make it possible to study, for example, the size of nanoparticles in a fluid and the viscosity of the liquid component of a magnetic fluid, or to control the transverse dimensions of a microwire during its manufacturing process.

Extension of the Jiles-Atherton Model for Soft Magnetic Composite Materials with Regard to the Specifics of Their Magnetization

The aim of the event is to introduce attendees, through an expert lecture and a seminar, to the application of the Jiles-Atherton model to soft magnetic composite materials (SMCs). SMCs belong to the class of soft magnetic materials that are prepared by insulating ferromagnetic powders with dielectric layers and then compacting them into various final core shapes. They exhibit high frequency and field stability of magnetic permeability, high saturation magnetic polarization, and low dynamic energy losses, which is why they are widely used in practice as cores in electric motors, generators, inductors, transformers, and other electromagnetic components.

Giant Mechanical Strain Induced by a Magnetic Field

The aim of the event is to introduce attendees, through an expert lecture and a seminar, to the phenomenon of giant mechanical strain (deformation) induced by a magnetic field in magnetically active materials. It explains the fundamental physical mechanisms and the factors influencing the magnitude and reversibility of this effect. Attention is also given to experimental results and potential applications in actuators and smart systems.

Actuators based on magnetic microwires

The aim of the event is to introduce attendees, through an expert lecture and a seminar, to miniaturized actuators based on magnetic Ni-Fe-Ga microwires. Their importance is growing with current developments in robotics, optics, biomedicine, and precision engineering in general. These microactuators, which use shape-memory alloys, offer a repeatable relative elongation of up to 12% and a tunable transition temperature between -170 °C and 400 °C. Their long-term lifetime exceeds 9×10⁶ cycles, and they withstand a repeatable stress of 100 MPa.

Phase Transformations in Austenitic Steels and Their Monitoring through Barkhausen Noise

 

The lecture presents research in the field of Barkhausen noise in austenitic steels, where martensite is formed through deformation processes. This phase transformation is also associated with the transition from a paramagnetic phase to a ferromagnetic one. Regarding plastic deformation, processes such as simple tension, dynamic strengthening of materials, rolling, friction, as well as long-term combined loading of a ship propeller are presented. The presentation highlights the importance of exchange interaction between individual martensitic regions, as well as the dominant influence of the amount of deformation-induced martensite on Barkhausen noise.
