Research Summary
The Rinehart Group studies materials at the interface of quantum and classical scales with interesting magnetic dynamics. Their work emphasizes the development of intuitive models for bottom-up control of magnetic properties design and new methods for large-scale quantitative data verification, parameterization, and organization. Current materials science projects involve the development of new software (Python-based) to address needs in data processing and alignment with FAIR data principles, facilitate analyses of large, modular datasets, and provide a realistic entry point for machine learning models in magnetic materials research involving large and multicomponent inputs including those of synthetic, structural, and physical origin.
