About

S. Omid Sayedaghaee is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Computational Condensed Matter Physics (CCMP) Group at University of Arkansas (UA). He earned his Ph.D. in Microelectronics-Photonics from UA in 2020. His skills at conducting computational and theoretical projects make him capable in producing novel research in ferroelectrics, semiconductors, magnetic compounds, multiferroics, and nanostructures. His expertise includes modern computational methods (such as Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics) through high performance cluster computing as well as analyzing the results (mostly by the state-o-the-art tools of Python and MATLAB) to investigate magnetoelectric effects in multiferroics and their technological applications. In collaboration with his colleagues at CCMP, he predicted the existence of novel quasiparticles (electroacoustic magnons) which provide potentials to design novel sensors and memory devices. They have also worked with other scientists and researchers to investigate the control of phase population in ferroelectrics which demonstrates reversible dual control of ferroelectric phases by applying external stimuli and leads to achieving highly controllable system responses. Sayedaghaee has received a rich training from multiple disciplines and passed sophisticated problem-solving exams. Holding two MS degrees in physics and electrical engineering as well as ten years of experience working with small businesses have equipped him with the ability of being process-driven yet flexible and innovative. Owing to his strong communication and interpersonal skills, he was chosen as a group leader and mentor in his graduate program.
