Manuel Vázquez, emeritus professor at the Nanomagnetism and Magnetization Processes Group at the Madrid Institute of Materials Sciences (ICMM-CSIC), has been recognized as an IEEE Fellow for his contributions to understanding the magnetism of cylindrical nanowires and microwires. This designation is the highest grade of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE, membership, the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity, and is recognized as a prestigious honor and an important career achievement.

As Kathleen A. Kramer, 2025 IEEE President and CEO, explains, recognizing the achievements of its members is an important part of the mission of IEEE. Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends a select group of recipients for elevation to IEEE Fellow: "less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation," says Kramer.

The IEEE is the world's leading professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. With almost 500,000 members in more than 190 countries, IEEE is a leading authority on a wide variety of areas in electrical and computer sciences, engineering and related disciplines. "From education and professional development to research and humanitarian outreach, IEEE's work aims to advance technology for the public good," says its webpage.

The IEEE publishes approximately a third of the world's technical literature in electrical engineering, computing, and electronics, and has an active portfolio of 1,144 standards. Additionally, the organization also sponsors more than 2,000 conferences each year.
