Research Interests: Streubel's group investigates curvature-driven magnetism, short-range order in amorphous systems, and ferromagnetic liquids. Key subfields include chiral spin textures (skyrmions, hopfions), dipolar-coupled macrospins, and vector exchange interactions in heterogeneous media. His work bridges synthesis, characterization, and theory, with a focus on quantum materials and energy applications.
Recent Publications highlight trends in 3D magnetic nanostructures (2025), ferromagnetic liquid propulsion (2024), and topological order in amorphous films (2021). The group employs advanced techniques like x-ray ptychography, Lorentz microscopy, and magneto-optical Kerr effect magnetometry.
