Principal Investigator
Professor Geoffrey S. D. Beach
Before coming to MIT, Professor Geoffrey Beach worked in UCSD’s Center for Magnetic Recording Research and later went on to the University of Texas at Austin as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Physics and the Texas Materials Institute. His group focuses on spin dynamics and “spin-electronics” in nanoscale magnetic materials and devices.
