Ritika Dusad

Ritika Dusad received her PhD from Cornell University under the supervision of Prof. S�amus Davis. In her dissertation work, she designed and built a novel spin noise spectrometer that has led to the discovery of 'Magnetic Monopole Noise' in Dysprosium Titanate. The results of that study are presented in this thesis. Remarkably, the motion of magnetic monopoles and frustration of the magnets she studied can actually be heard at temperatures between 1K and 4K. Ritika Dusad was born and raised...See more

Ritika Dusad received her PhD from Cornell University under the supervision of Prof. S�amus Davis. In her dissertation work, she designed and built a novel spin noise spectrometer that has led to the discovery of 'Magnetic Monopole Noise' in Dysprosium Titanate. The results of that study are presented in this thesis. Remarkably, the motion of magnetic monopoles and frustration of the magnets she studied can actually be heard at temperatures between 1K and 4K. Ritika Dusad was born and raised in Delhi, India and studied physics at University of California, Los Angeles as an undergraduate student. She is an expert in conceptualizing, designing and building experiments for low temperature physics. In her spare time she likes to sing Hindustani Classical Music, paint, and read fiction written by Indian authors. See less
