Welcome to the Iacocca Group
Our focus
We study magnetization dynamics at the nanoscale. We theoretically, analytically, and numerically investigate dynamics from the ultrafast regime to the dispersion of spin waves in metamaterials.
Our goal
To gain understanding of non-equilibrium and nonlinear magnetization dynamics and propose magnetic devices for information technologies.
Research opportunities
We are looking for motivated undergraduate students to conduct research in artificial spin ices. Physics students with good coding skills are encouraged to contact Prof. Iacocca.
