Isaak D. Mayergoyz

Isaak D. Mayergoyz is the Alford L. Ward Professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park.

He received his master and PhD degrees in the former Soviet Union, where he was a senior research scientist at the Institute of Cybernetics of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences before immigrating to the US in 1980. In the next year, he was appointed full professor of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Maryland. In 1987, he received the Outstanding Teacher Award of the university's College of Engineering. In 1988, he was selected as a visiting Research Fellow of the Research and Development Center of General Electric after having consulted for the same center and having participated in the development of MRI systems. In the same year (1988), he became a Fellow of IEEE. In 1994, he became a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Magnetics Society as well as a Distinguished Scholar-Teacher of the University of Maryland, College Park. He received the Achievement Award, the highest award of the IEEE Magnetics Society, in 2010. In 2018 he was named a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland.

His areas of research have included plasmon resonances in nanoparticles, nonlinear magnetization dynamics induced by spin polarized currents, fluctuations in nanoscale semiconductor devices, mathematical modeling of hysteresis and stochastic analysis of systems with hysteresis, drive independent recovery and forensics of hard disk data, computational electromagnetics, power engineering’ and hysteresis in economics.
