The physicist, specialist in superconductivity and creator of the h-index, met with the director and researchers of our institute.
Jorge Hirsch, professor at the University of California, San Diego (United States), visited our institute and met with Eduardo Arzt, director of the IBioBA; Patricio Yankilevich, coordinator of the Bioinformatics Platform; and with Luis Morelli, also a physicist and leader of the group ‘Information processing in cells and biological tissues’ of the institute.
During the meeting they discussed their research lines and the activities that the IBioBA organized with students throughout the year. Hirsch’s research focuses on the analysis of superconductivity and magnetism, and he is also the author of the h-index, a bibliometric indicator that measures productivity and scientific citations.
