I am a researcher working in the area of thin film magnetism, studying nanoscale structural/magnetic/electrical properties using synchrotron radiation, scanning probe techniques and neutrons. My interest is to understand new phenomena and science of nano-scale structures and their dynamics (faster time scales) for basic research and possible applications.
If you want to understand function, study structure: F. Crick, Nobel Laureate
