Profile
I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow in the School of Physics and Astronomy. My academic and professional journey spans an MSc from Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich (LMU), a PhD from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU), and a postdoctoral appointment at Laboratoire Albert Fert (CNRS/Thales, University of Paris-Saclay), France.
Research interests
My research focuses on harnessing complex oxides for low-power electronic technologies. I work on the epitaxial growth of functional oxides, primarily using pulsed laser deposition (PLD), and on their nanoscale characterization through scanning probe microscopy (SPM). I am particularly interested in bismuth-based multiferroic materials for next-generation logic and memory applications.
I have extensive experience with BiFeO3, the only robust room-temperature multiferroic, including its epitaxial growth, ferroelectric and magnetic domain engineering, and magnetoelectric characterization. Looking ahead, during my Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship, I am developing new Bi-based double-perovskite multiferroics designed to exhibit stronger linear magnetoelectric coupling for energy-efficient computing.
