It was really great to be able to go on an extended visit to the group of Dr. Alannah Hallas in the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute at the University of British Columbia this Autumn. Lots of interesting discussions, and hopefully some cool publications coming down the line! #physics

It was really great to speak in the webinar series for the MuST Program for Disordered Materials today, talking about some of the work we have been doing recently on #HighEntropyAlloys 🔩

You can find a recording of my talk on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Dx... 🚀

Had a great time presenting at the 2025 @apsphysics.bsky.social Global #Physics Summit in Anaheim last week!

My invited talk in a session focussing on #DisorderedMaterials was well-received, with plenty of interesting discussions afterwards.

Until next time! 🚀

Had a really great week attending the 16th Joint MMM-Intermag Conference, held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA! This joint meeting is one of the world's premier #magnetism conferences 🧲

There were lots of great presentations throughout the week, and plenty of interesting discussions, too!

Great to be here in New Orleans for the 2025 Joint MMM/Intermag meeting, one of the premier global magnetism conferences! 🧲

I have two talks on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, and am also chairing a session on Friday. Come along to find out more about some of our recent work!

As @bsky.app is a (relatively) new platform and I am a (relatively) new user here, I thought I would share a thread of my 'back catalogue' of publications so the community can get a flavour of the sort of problems on which I work. Here goes!

Really pleased to be able to share this research article, published today in npj Computational Materials: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Here, we examine how alloying additions may be used to control chemical ordering tendencies and magnetic properties in FeNi-based magnets! 🧲
