Position: Doktorandin
Research interests:
I work on collective excitations in unconventional magnets, with a focus on the theoretical modelling of magnons in altermagnets, a newly identified class of collinear magnets that combine zero net magnetization with spin-split electron and magnon bands in reciprocal space. I am particularly interested in how these magnons give rise to thermal transport signatures, and how altermagnetic features can be controlled and engineered. I am also interested in topological features in magnets, especially topologically nontrivial magnon edge states and their thermal transport signatures. Looking ahead, I would like to extend my work to Bose-Einstein condensates of magnons and explore other collective excitations in both magnetic and nonmagnetic systems.
