Key Area
of Research

Nanomagnetism and spintronic devices for emerging sensor, memory, and computing applications

This research focuses on developing advanced materials and heterostructures for next-generation memory and logic devices. Key areas include studying spin-orbit torques and magnetization dynamics, essential for spintronic memory technologies, and creating energy-efficient, non-volatile memory technologies such as SOT-MRAM and other SOT-based devices for low-power, high-speed storage. Magnonics explores spin waves for energy-efficient information transfer and processing, with applications in analog-like and non-linear systems. Additionally, integrating spintronic devices with CMOS technology enhances computational efficiency and broadens the scope of future computing systems.

Enhancing Learning and Engagement Through Gamification in Projects and Experiments

Gamification in projects and experiments explores its effectiveness in enhancing student engagement, motivation, and conceptual understanding. By integrating game-based elements and clear objectives, gamification enhances participation and knowledge retention compared to traditional instructional methods. Additionally, it introduces a competitive element, to encourage a more dynamic and interactive learning experience
