PhD thesis · In progress

Flexible spintronics under strain

How mechanical strain reshapes magnetism in thin films, and how to turn that physics into devices: strain-tunable anisotropy, transport under bending, and sensors that read magnetic field and strain at once. I share chapters and the current draft with collaborators and committees.

Planar Hall effect magnetic sensors with extended field range

Ellipse geometry tunes the anisotropy field from 12 to 120 Oe, a tenfold wider operating range, while every size stays a single magnetic domain on the Stoner-Wohlfarth curve. My first first-author paper.

Flexible planar Hall effect sensor with sub-200 pT resolution

A magnetometer on 25 µm Kapton that resolves fields below 200 picotesla, and stays under 400 pT/√Hz while bent to a 10 mm radius. Covered by EurekAlert and The Jerusalem Post.

Magnetic source detection with sensor arrays and machine learning

A 3×3 array of elliptical PHE sensors plus a neural network reconstructs magnetic source maps. Reaching the same quality without learning would take more than fifty sensors.

Enhanced magnetic resolution via non-collinear anisotropy

Patterning the ellipse orthogonal to the growth-induced easy axis makes the two anisotropies subtract instead of add, breaking the conventional resolution floor: a representative device dropped from 6.15 to 2.66 Oe, within 0.2 Oe of a parameter-free model.

Physics-guided multi-view conditioning for super-resolution

Physics constraints keep learned super-resolution honest across sensor views. With the Soreq NRC team.

Coming next

Two more manuscripts are in preparation.

A field-dependent shape-anisotropy study and further strain work are moving through the pipeline. Ask me where they stand.
