Associate Professor in Condensed Matter Physics
School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Leeds, U.K.
Dr Thomas Moore is an Associate Professor in Condensed Matter Physics and an expert in nanomagnetism, domain wall physics and magnetic imaging. He obtained his PhD at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, and was subsequently a Marie Curie Research Fellow at the University of Konstanz, Germany, and postdoctoral research fellow at Spintec and the Institut Néel in Grenoble, France, before arriving in Leeds as a lecturer in 2010. He pioneered current-driven domain wall motion in multilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. He is Chair of the UK Institute of Physics Magnetism Group and co-chaired the group’s annual Magnetism conference from 2017-19. His interests span the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, skyrmions, spin-orbit torques and the effect of piezoelectric strain on thin magnetic films.
