Overview
For more information about my research, visit my personal web page
My research is focused on atomistic modelling of magnetic materials and spintronic devices. I am particularly interested in understanding the fundamental magnetic properties of devices for practical applications such as magnetic hyperthermia, magnetoresisitive random access memory (MRAM), heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), exchange bias and permanent magnets. We also develop VAMPIRE, a free and open source software package for performing atomistic spin dynamics simulations.
