Mara Strungaru
The University of Manchester
I am currently a Lecturer in Novel Concepts/Technologies in Low Energy Computing at University of Manchester, Computer Science department, working in advanced models of magnetism for energy-efficient devices, member of the Nanoengineering and Spintronic Technologies research group (NEST).
I obtained my PhD in computational magnetism in 2021 at University of York (supervised by Prof Roy Chantrell and Dr Richard Evans), then moved to a postdoctoral position at University of Edinburgh, working on 2D magnetism. Afterwards I returned to York as a research software engineer funded by the national supercomputer ARCHER2 via eCSE. I have contributed to the development of the the spin-lattice dynamics branch in the atomistic spin dynamics code, VAMPIRE, and I have been a presenter and organiser of several workshops.
