Dr Arabinda Haldar is Associate Professor of Physics at Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. His group pursues experimental and theoretical research in magnonics, microwave magnetics and nanomagnetism, with an emphasis on spintronic and post-CMOS information-processing technologies. Education Ph.D. – Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Research Interests The group operates at the intersection of condensed-matter physics , nanotechnology and microwave engineering . Core themes include: Magnonics & Spin-Wave Computing: Propagation and control of magnons in ultra-thin magnetic multilayers, magnonic waveguides and reconfigurable metamaterials for low-power logic and memory. Microwave Magnetics: Self-biased nanomagnets and ferrite-free thin-film devices for on-chip RF components, radars and wireless communication systems. Nanomagnetism & Spin Dynamics: Spin-orbit phenomena (spin Hall effect, spin pumping, spin-orbit torque), skyrmionics, and ultrafast magnetization dynamics probed by FMR, BLS and ST-FMR techniques. Scientific Awards & Recognition Research Excellence Award – IIT Hyderabad (2024) DAE Young Scientist Research Award (2021) IEEE Senior Member recognition (2022) Ramanujan Fellowship – DST, Government of India (2017) Outstanding Reviewer 2019 – IOP Publishing Early Career Research Award – SERB (2017) Advising & Funding Dr Haldar has mentored 15+ PhD students and numerous Masters and project interns. He is principal investigator on SERB-CRG grants for Brillouin light scattering microscopy and sputtering system for skyrmion research , and co-PI on additional CRG-SERB and NIMS-ICGP programs. Recent graduates include Sudeep (DRDO-MoE), Brahmaranjan, Mahathi and Bibekananda Paikaray. Laboratory & Collaborative Networks The Magnonics & Nanomagnetism Laboratory at IITH houses state-of-the-art facilities: broadband FMR (2–18 GHz), micro-focused Brillouin light scattering, spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) and nanofabrication clean-room tools. International collaborations span Durham University (Prof A O Adeyeye), NIMS Japan, IISc Bangalore, DMRL Hyderabad and IIT Bombay.
