The weak dissipation of spin waves in magnetic materials make antiferromagnets realistic condensed matter systems for the experimental observation of intrinsic localized modes of nanoscale size. By employing a chirped high...
Many oscillatory systems of great interest exhibit pulsing behavior. The analysis of such oscillators has historically utilized a constant-phase model such as the Kuramoto equation to describe their dynamics. These models...

This project investigated the dynamics of 2-d easy axis magnetic spin systems. In particular, I studied the formation of intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) which arise from nonlinear behavior that manifests primarily as energy...
In this project, I used various numerical techniques to investigate the existence of nonlinear, spatially localized modes for vibrational and magnetic lattices. I started by using Newton-Raphson algorithm to solve the...
A fundamental question in molecular dynamics is the following: Given some bond-localized excitation of a molecule, what will be the pathway and rate of energy ow throughout the molecule's various degrees of freedom? This notion...
We begin by analyzing, using basic physics considerations, under what conditions it becomes energetically favorable to use aggressive regenerative braking to reach a lower speed over “coasting” where one relies solely on air...
