I am pleased to announce that my PhD thesis, titled “Data Storage and Processing using Magnetic Nanowires” is now available online at the White Rose eTheses Online. In it I investigate the switching dynamics of Domain Wall Trap Magnetic Random Access Memory (DWT-MRAM). Later I take a thorough look into Spin Wave propagation along permalloy nanowires.
How I Use VBA to Generate Pivot Tables

Invited talk on HAMR at Exeter University
I recently had the honour of giving an invited talk on Heat-assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) at the Ex-Spring Industrial Conclave which was hosted by Exeter University. Apart from introducing the magnetic recording paradigms (LMR, PMR and HAMR) and emphasizing the need for energy-assisted magnetic recording in order to continue areal density growth, I shared details on the HAMR recording physics and highlighted challenges that have been overcome in the last few years in order to bring HAMR to product. ...
