Dr Jintao Shuai

Profile

Jintao Shuai is a Research Fellow in the Condensed Matter Physics Group within the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leeds. His research centres on spintronics, with particular interests in magnetisation dynamics, magnonics, and spin caloritronics. He completed his PhD at Leeds as a Marie Skłodowska‑Curie Early Stage Researcher (MagnEFi), investigating the interaction of surface acoustic waves and magnetic thin films under the supervision of Dr Thomas Moore and Prof John Cunningham.

He trained in Materials Engineering, earning a B.Eng. from the China University of Mining and Technology and an M.Eng. from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences. After his PhD, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Seoul National University, working on cavity magnonics with Prof Sang‑Koog Kim, before returning to Leeds as a Research Fellow to pursue skyrmion spin caloritronics with Prof Christopher Marrows.

Research interests

Jintao’s research focuses on spintronics in magnetic thin films and nanostructures, with current interests in spin caloritronics (using heat and thermal gradients to control magnetisation and spin transport in devices).

Current interests

• Thermally driven magnetisation dynamics and spin transport in nanostructures.
• Temperature-dependent magnetic properties from cryogenic regimes to the Curie point.
• Control and manipulation of magnetic spin textures (e.g., skyrmions, domain walls).

Selected past projects

• Magnetisation dynamics driven by surface acoustic waves in magnetic thin films.
• Reconfigurable control of cavity magnonics.
