On May 21, Dr. Tilve delivered a comprehensive presentation at the Institute of Applied Magnetism (IMA) as part of the IMAnate series. He began by discussing his work on combining nanocarbon materials with polymers to create conductive nanocomposites capable of absorbing microwaves. This research formed the core of his doctoral thesis and subsequently led to the foundation of a startup dedicated to producing microfibers with tailored electromagnetic properties.

In the second part of his presentation, Dr. Tilve explained the principles behind percolation networks and how they enable the self-assembly of nanostructured macromaterials—an area that formed the basis of his postdoctoral research. The highly detailed technical exposition, combined with numerous questions from the audience, transformed his talk into a dynamic and engaging debate, highlighting recent advances and future directions in the field of functional nanomaterials.
