Jagadeesh Moodera
Jagadeesh Subbaiah Moodera (born December 3, 1950 in Bangalore ) is an Indian - American physicist who deals with solid-state physics.
life and work
Moodera graduated from the University of Mysore (Masters Degree, 1973) and received her PhD in solid state physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in Chennai in 1978 . In 1979 he went to the USA to study with Mohinder Seehra at West Virginia University . In 1981 he went to the Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the group of Robert Meservey , whose successor as group leader he was in the early 1990s when he retired. He was visiting professor at the TU Eindhoven .
His group deals with magnetic and superconducting thin films and methods of nano-spintronics (magnetic tunneling between thin layers , spin injection in semiconductors , magnetic semiconductors). In 1994, shortly after Terunobu Miyazaki, he found a giant TMR effect (Magnetic Tunnel Resistance , English Tunneling Magneto-Resistance ).
Moodera is a Fellow of the American Physical Society . In 2009 he received the IIT's Distinguished Alumni Award.
In 2009 he received the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize with Robert Meservey, Paul Tedrow (both also formerly at MIT) and Terunobu Miyazaki for their pioneering work in spintronics (spin-dependent tunneling) .
