Eric Fullerton is an Endowed Chair Professor at UC San Diego's Center for Magnetic Recording Research (CMRR) and a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering. He is an internationally acclaimed scholar with expertise in thin film magnetic nano-materials, including magnetic recording nanotechnologies and x-ray neutron scattering. Fullerton has significantly contributed to the development of high-density magnetic recording media based on anti-ferromagnetically coupled ferromagnetic films. His early career contributions include developing a technique for mapping thin-film multilayer structures using x-ray diffraction data, which has become a standard in the field. He joined UC San Diego in January 2007 after serving as a senior manager and research scientist in the Fundamentals of Nano-structured Materials Group at Hitachi Global Storage Technologies. Fullerton was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2018 for his inventions in multilayer high-density magnetic recording media, and he has received numerous honors including fellowships and awards from various notable organizations.
