Sucheta Mondal

Postdoctoral Researcher
suchetariya AT berkeley DOT edu

Sucheta completed her PhD in Condensed Matter Physics and Material Sciences from SNBNCBS, Kolkata (India) in 2019. Her doctoral research work was based on ultrafast magnetization dynamics in magnetic thin films, heterostructure and nanostructures.

At Berkeley, her research mainly focuses on ultrafast dynamics in advanced spintronic devices. She is currently working on antiferromagnetic spintronics. Antiferromagnetic system offers faster and energy efficient magnetic switching and is considered as a potential candidate for next generation magnetic data storage technology. Probing the ultrafast dynamics of antiferromagnets by means of electrical and optical techniques is the initial aim of this project.

Debanjan Polly

Postdoctoral Researcher
dpolley AT lbl DOT gov
Website

Debanjan received his Ph.D. in 2017 from SNBNCS (Kolkata), where he worked on THz spectroscopy of different types of carbon nanotubes and metallic nanostructures. Then he joined Stockholm University for his post-doctoral research where he studied ultrafast magnetization dynamics of magnetic thin films initiated with NIR and THz excitation. He also used COMSOL to simulate THz meta-material structures to enhance THz magnetic fields in near-field geometry.

At UC Berkeley, he is studying in the ultrafast switching in magnetic materials using ~fs optical pulse and ~ps electrical pulse. He is also involved in microscopic simulation of all-optical helicity independent switching in Ferrimagnet and RKKY exchange coupled ferromagnets. He is also interested in COMSOL simulation of ultrafast current propagation through waveguides and strip-lines.
