Dr. Nikolaos Ntallis
Nikolaos Ntallis is a post-doctoral fellow at the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas, Greece, under the Program "ThunderSKY" since November 2021. He has received his Phd "Computational Applications of the the theory of Micromagnetism" from the Aristotle University Thessaloniki, Greece. In his PhD thesis, he developed a theoretical model for the response of magnetic nanoparticles to fast- and slow-varying external fields, based on the micromagnetic theory leading to second order PDE in space and time system. In order to find numerical solutions of this model, he developed a code based on finite element method. The implementation of the method involved high order polynomial approximations and the simultaneous solution of a set of PDE involving the magnetization vector and the scalar magnetic potentials. His current research activity is focused on dynamic properties of magnetic materials by DFT, spin dynamics and Micromagnetic methods for developing materials and candidate devices for spintronics and information storage applications. He has participated in three funded projects: 1) COMANA Project (GSRT No. 1737), 2) European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme: under grant agreement No. 731976 (MAGENTA) www.magenta-h2020.eu, and 3) Dynamic Phenomena of Magnetic Materials funded from Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden.
