Mr Ian Vidamour
PhD student
Ian is a PhD student, working as part of an interdepartmental programme under the supervision of Dr Tom Hayward and Professor Dan Allwood from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and Professor Eleni Vasilaki from the Department of Computer Science. Having completed an MEng in Aerospace Engineering here at the University of Sheffield, Ian joined the FMM group in October 2019. Ian’s research focuses on harnessing the complex dynamics of nanoscale magnetic ring ensembles to engineer neuromorphic devices able to perform meaningful computational in materio, utilising both experimental and modelling approaches.

Emergent Domain Wall Behaviour In Interconnected Nano Ring Arrays
This project investigates emergence arising from domain wall interactions at junctions between connected nano rings. The DW population of arrays can be analytically modelled against the probability of interactions occurring. Methods to measure the magnetisation of the array (itself linked to domain… -
