Dr Brinda Kuthanazhi

I am a Research Fellow in the Superconductivity and Magnetism Group, working on the project "Controlling the formation and properties of topological magnetic phenomena" with Prof. Geetha Balakrishnan and Prof. Daniel Mayoh. I have expertise in the design and synthesis of a variety of new materials, from solar absorbers to topological magnets, and their characterisation by structural and physical property measurements.

The investigation of the physics of all the materials involves a wide range of techniques, including in-house magnetic, thermodynamic and transport measurements, as well as the use of central facilities using X-ray diffraction, neutron scattering and muon spectroscopy techniques.

Teaching

Graduate teaching assistant at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Iowa State University, from August 2016 to December 2017. I delivered lab and recitation (tutorial) sessions for Introductory Physics courses on Electromagnetism (Fall 2016) and Classical Mechanics (Spring 2017). I also graded graduate-level Electricity and Magnetism course (Fall 2017).
