Postdoctoral Researcher (2021-)

Research interest: I am passionate about advancing efficient information devices through spintronic systems, with over a decade of experience in nano-magnetism. My research background includes magnetic film growth, spintronic device fabrication using lithography, etching, and lift-off techniques, as well as transport measurements from DC to RF and magneto-optical measurements. Additionally, I am interested in numerical calculations to interpret experimental data. In Professor Hoffmann’s group, I am specifically investigating spintronics in non-collinear antiferromagnets and chiral polymers.
