I am a physicist/engineer currently working at Seagate Technology on research and development of heat-assisted magnetic recording.

Before that I worked at St Pölten University of Applied Sciences, mainly on projects developing rare-earth-free and rare-earth-reduced permanent magnets.

My main competencies include magnetic materials simulation (e.g. soft, hard and composite magnetic materials) and device simulation (transducer development). I use Python a lot in my work, for simulation, post-processing, statistical analysis, plotting and visualization. I have lots of experience of micromagnetic modelling and other types of FEM modelling using multi-physics such as COMSOL and ANSYS. I am used to working with high performance computing (HPC) on Linux.

I really love visualization and visual thinking. I even lectured on this topic for a while during my academic career.
