Research Project: GHz spectroscopy probe on physical reservoir computing hardware based on skyrmions
Supervisors: Hide Kurebayashi (UCL), Will Branford (ICL)

Daniel graduated with an MPhys in Physics from the University of Durham in 2022. His masters project investigated the use of full linear polarisation analysis to characterise magnetic structures in centrosymmetric materials. This focused on a potential skyrmion phase seen in Gd3Ru4Al12. Daniel’s PhD project at UCL will be to develop physical reservoir computing hardware making use of magnetic systems, including but not limited to skyrmions, in order to bring down energy costs and reduce training times of machine learning.

I really enjoyed my time as a member of the CDT-ACM. It provided the opportunity to gain experience with a wide range of materials characterisation techniques and to engage with the wider research community by participating in conferences and Outreach events.
