My research interests focus on high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials, particularly REBCO coated conductors, with an emphasis on their electrical and mechanical behavior under operational conditions. I am especially interested in superconducting joints (soldered tape-to-tape and cable joints), where material interfaces, contact resistance, and current transfer mechanisms play a critical role in overall system performance.
My activities are closely aligned with the HTS Modelling Workgroup through both experimental and modelling-oriented contributions. I investigate current distribution, critical current degradation, and joint resistivity using experimental characterization (I–V measurements, magnetization analysis, SEM/EDX). These results may provide validated input parameters and boundary conditions for multi-physics modelling.
I am also interested in modelling flux pinning, AC losses, and electromagnetic behavior in HTS tapes and cables, including MgB₂ systems. My work may contribute to bridging experimental findings with numerical simulations, supporting the development of reliable, scalable superconducting systems for energy and magnet applications.
Additionally, I actively collaborate within international research networks,support MSc/PhD researchers, and contribute to training activities, fostering knowledge transfer between modelling and experimental communities.
