CMRR Director, CMRR Endowed Chair Professor, Department of ECE & Department of Nanoengineering
Currently Professor Fullerton's research is partially funded by the National Science Foundation. Prof. Fullerton's research areas include:
Prof. Eric Fullerton is an Endowed Chair Professor at UC San Diego's Center for Memory and Recording Research (CMRR) and a professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at UCSD's Jacobs School of Engineering. Before joining UCSD in January 2007, Dr. 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. Dr. Fullerton earned his Ph.D. at UCSD in 1991.
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.
