I work at the intersection of magnetic materials and computational physics—where understanding why a material behaves the way it does meets the tools to predict it. My research centers on magnetic materials for power electronics and sensing applications, with a particular focus on soft magnetic materials and the loss mechanisms that govern their performance. I’m drawn to problems where the material and the physics can’t be separated—where microstructure, processing, and device behavior all have to be understood together. The other half of my work is making these systems computable. I build and run micromagnetic and FEM simulations, GPU-accelerated particle models, and machine-learning surrogates that turn expensive computations into fast design tools. Validating those models against real measurements—matching what the experiment actually shows—is the part I care about most. A simulation is only as good as the physics it respects. What keeps me engaged is the space between these worlds: using computation to ask better experimental questions, and using experiments to keep the models honest.
