Lab Overview
Our lab has been one of pioneers in computational micromagnetic modeling in the areas of nanomagnetism and spin dynamics for exploiting fundamental ultrafast dynamics in geometrically restricted nanomagnets. Our lab is now focusing on the developments of ultrahigh speed, ultra-high density memory and logic devices based on magnetic vortices and spin waves.
