LMPM members
Leading Researcher is Mikhail Kostylev

Mikhail Kostylev is a professor at the Department of Physics at the University of Western Australia since 2005. Research interests: magnetism, spintronics, wave processes, quantum information. How to create a microprocessor in which the signal carriers will be magnons rather than electrons? How to solve the problem of information recognition using a magnon reservoir computer? How to create an artificial neural network based on magnonics? These and many other questions were raised in the research of Mikhail Kostylev.
The laboratory team includes
- 9 researchers
- 7 engineers
- 4 technicians
