Tudor Mocioi

Tudor Mocioi is a graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science bridging theory and experiment to quantify magnetoelectric coupling in magnetic semiconductors for energy-efficient computing and wireless power. Controlling magnetism with voltage is a long-standing spintronics goal, yet fundamental mechanisms remained elusive. He is benchmarking a unified thermodynamic framework against experiments to explain how magnetic states control charge distribution, demonstrating that large magnetoresistance and voltage-induced switching emerge naturally in magnetic semiconductor devices. His work also enables highly efficient conversion of oscillating magnetic fields into AC voltages in magnetic capacitors for miniature antennas and wireless energy transfer. He develops numerical simulations that reproduce experimental observations and guide device optimization. He also automates experimental workflows for rapid device characterization in cryogenic environments. As a MathWorks Fellow, Tudor will advance these computational and automation frameworks to accelerate the design of energy-efficient spintronic hardware, with the goal of informing practical magnetoelectric devices for next-generation applications.
