Senior Member of the IEEE.

Microwave Magnetics and Nanomagnetism

My research interests are in the following areas:

Nonlinear spin waves, envelope solitons, chaotic dynamics, modulational instability, parametric pumping
Magnetization dynamics, ferromagnetic resonance, spin wave instability
Nanomagnetism, nanoscale magnetic particles, magnetic nanocomposites, magnetic nanofilms
Microwave magnetic materials and devices; microwave absorption materials, millimeter wave devices

Additional information regarding the activities of my research group may be found at the CSU Magnetics website.

Available Positions (as of October 2007)

There are currently one to two graduate research assistant positions available for CSU graduate students. There are also openings for CSU undergraduate students who are interested in doing research. Please feel free to contact me about these opportunities.

Inquiries are also welcome from senior scientists interested in sabbatical appointments or other visiting appointments, and recently graduated Ph.D. scientists interested in post-doctoral appointments. Application procedures are described on the department's Employment web page.
