Research Summary: Marcus studies how a spin wave (SW) beam incident on the edge of a thin film placed below a ferromagnetic stripe can excite leaky modes. During propagation, leaky waves emit energy back into the layer in the form of plane waves and several laterally shifted parallel SW beams. This resonance excitation results in the magnonic Wood’s anomaly and a significant increase of the Goos-Hänchen shift magnitude. This yields a unique platform to control SW reflection and transdimensional magnonic router that can transfer SWs from a 2D platform into a 1D guided mode. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10416350/

Personal Summary: Outside of research, Marcus explore deserts, makes his own rigatoni pasta, and solves mysteries of the universe. Marcus's escapades are well documented on instragram reels and tiktok. His adventures are thought to be one of the finest and most emotionally powerful coming of age stories in existence. We can learn a thing or two from Marcus; he walked so that we could run.
