Thomas George Woodcock

Dr. Thomas George Woodcock is a Research Fellow at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden) within the Magnetic Materials Group. His work focuses on the interplay between material microstructure and functional properties, particularly in magnetic materials.

• Education: Master's in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Sheffield, PhD in Materials Science from the University of Birmingham.

Employing multi-scale characterization techniques such as aberration-corrected TEM/STEM, EBSD, and synchrotron diffraction, he investigates atomic-scale interfaces, grain-level phenomena, and magnetic domain structures. His recent publications emphasize permanent magnet development, computational data analysis, and phase stability in MnAl-C and Ni-Mn-Ga systems.

Scientific contributions include:

• Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship
• Editorial Assistant for Journal of Alloys and Compounds (2010-2020)
• Co-organizer of nanomagnetism symposia
• Program committee member for major magnetism conferences

He actively contributes to Python-based data analysis tools and micromagnetic modeling, advancing sustainable magnet technologies without rare-earth elements.
