Dr. Fullerton's expertise is in thin-film magnetic and nano-materials. He is an internationally acclaimed scholar in areas such as thin film and superlattice growth, magnetic recording and nano-technologies, and x-ray and neutron scattering. At IBM/Hitachi, Dr. Fullerton made fundamental advances in the development of high density magnetic recording media based on anti-ferromagnetically coupled ferromagnetic films. Early in his career, he developed a technique for mapping the structure of thin-film multi-layers from x-ray diffraction data that became the standard in the field.

Capsule Bio:

Eric Fullerton is the Endowed Chair Professor at �鶹��ý's Center for Magnetic Recording Research (CMRR) and a professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at �鶹��ý's Jacobs School of Engineering. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2018 “for invention and development of multilayer, high-density magnetic recording media.” Before joining �鶹��ý in January 2007, Fullerton was a senior manager and research scientist in the Fundamentals of Nano-structured Materials Group at Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (formerly IBM Almaden Research Center). He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, and a past winner of the Exceptional Achievement Award at Argonne National Laboratory, the IBM Outstanding Achievement Award, and the IBM Fourth Plateau Invention Achievement Award. Fullerton earned his Ph.D. at �鶹��ý in 1991.
