BIO

I am an experimental condensed-matter physicist specializing in thin-film synthesis, magnetic materials, and spintronic devices. My research focuses on understanding and engineering the structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of ultrathin magnetic multilayers and antiferromagnetic materials. I use DC/RF magnetron sputtering, XRD, XRR, VSM magnetometry, Hall and magnetotransport measurements, and micromagnetic modeling to investigate phenomena such as giant magnetoresistance, exchange bias, anomalous Hall conductivity, magnetic anisotropy, and spin-dependent transport.

My current research includes spin-valve and synthetic antiferromagnetic structures, FeMn-based antiferromagnetic thin films, and data-driven optimization of thin-film deposition. I am particularly interested in connecting deposition conditions and interface engineering to material properties and device performance, with applications in spintronics, magnetic sensing, and memory technologies.
