Khalid Omari

Dr Khalid Omari is a Research Fellow currently working in Dr Liu's spintronics group, where he leads the nanofabrication of spin-wave structures using topological insulators. His research focuses on designing, micromagnetic modelling, and nanofabrication of spin-wave waveguides for quantum logic operations. Previously, he was a research fellow at the University of Nottingham working on antiferromagnetic spintronics and a postdoc at the University of Manchester on graphene spintronics.

His educational background includes:

• BEng in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the American University of Beirut (2006)
• MSc in Nanotechnology from the University of Sheffield (2011)
• PhD in Nanomagnetic Materials from the University of Sheffield (2016)

Dr Omari's primary research interests lie in spintronics, with a focus on nanomagnetic materials and domain wall dynamics. He has made significant contributions in the areas of graphene spintronics, antiferromagnetic materials, and topological spintronics. His work aims at developing novel spin-based devices for low-energy and high-speed computing, including logic architectures and quantum information processing.

His publication record, spanning from 2014 to 2020, demonstrates a consistent focus on domain wall phenomena and spin-wave devices. The articles reveal a progression from fundamental studies of domain wall motion in magnetic nanowires to the development of antiferromagnetic switching and topological insulator-based spin-wave structures, highlighting his expertise in both experimental and computational aspects of spintronics.

His notable recognition includes:

• Daniel Doncaster Prize (2016)

Dr Omari has served as Principal Investigator for a research project in the Department of Electronic Engineering, though the project status is currently Not started. He has collaborated with prominent researchers in the field, such as Dr. T. Hayward, on domain wall logic and chirality control.

He is an active member of the Nano-Electronics and Materials Group, contributing to cutting-edge research in spintronics and nanofabrication.
