Kyle and Ezio gave talks at MMM
MMM took place in Dallas, TX this year. Kyle delivered an invited talk on our new pseudo-spectral method and Ezio presented results using Gaenice. Many interesting talks on topological states, curved geometries, and machine learning!
Iacocca awarded DOE Early Career
We are pleased to announce that the proposal “Fourier and Fractional Neural Operators to Unveil Topological Textures in 3D Magnetism” was awarded funding under the DOE Early Career program for 2023. This 5-year project will advance physics-informed machine learning algorithms, focusing on the discovery of magnetic materials but with applications in nanopatterned materials.
Comments on the project can be found on UCCS’ communique article.
Kyle attends USQIS at FERMILAB
Kyle was admitted to attend the inaugural U.S. quantum information science summer school at Fermilab. This event is funded by DOE and aims to further develop the quantum workforce in the U.S. More information here.
Iacocca gives invited talk at TMRC
We presented our work on ultrafast magnetism and domain-wall motion and how it could be envisioned to use artificial spin ices as a way to manipulate the flow of angular momentum at the nanoscale. Really interesting insights from the magnetic recording industry.
Ally attended IEEE Magnetic Summer School
Ally attended the 2023 IEEE Summer School in Bari, Italy and presented her latest results on dispersion of magnons through nanostructured materials.
We are happy that this event has been restored as it is a very good opportunity for students to listen to experts and interact with many other students worldwide.
Frontiers in ASI in Switzerland
We presented the results of our work on artificial spin ices at “Frontiers in ASI” held in Lenzburg, Switzerland. Many thanks to the organizers for the invitation and a fantastic conference with very interesting talks and posters!
Nonlinear magnon scattering in ASI
Experiments and simulations unveiled magnon scattering in ASIs due to nonlinear processes. These were only observed in continuous magnetic films but in our recent Nature Communications, we demonstrate that similar processes are allowed by the coupling between adjacent nanoislands in ASIs. Beautiful experiments done at M. B. Jungfliesch’s group!
IEEE Magnetic School resumes
The IEEE Magnetic Summer School is restarting after a COVID hiatus this year. The event is organized this year by Vito Puliafito from Politecnico di Bari, Italy. He shared an article about his experience being both a student in 2010 and now an organizer, 13 years later!
That year, the IEEE Summer School was organized at UNO and was also attended by then grad-students Ezio Iacocca and M. Benjamin Jungfleisch, both now collaborating on artificial spin ices! Thanks Vito for the picture!
Victoria obtains scholarship to study at Duke University
Victoria will be attending Duke University in North Carolina under a scholarship to study Electrical and Computer Engineering with an emphasis in Physics. Victoria obtained Type 1 High School Scholarship through the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps Program.
Victoria joined the group in 2021 and developed a method to recover demag factors of stadium-shaped nanoislands from micromagnetic simulations. Her work has contributed to the development and quantitative accuracy of our general artificial spin ice model. We wish Victoria the best in her undergraduate studies!
Casey presents his work at CSURF
Casey presented a poster on “Domain-wall-induced modulational instability in ferromagnets with perpendicular anisotropy” at CSURF. This year, CSURF was held at the Colorado College. Casey did exceptionally well conveying rather fundamental and mathematically inclined research to an broad audience!
