Isaak D. Mayergoyz is the Alford L. Ward Professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park.
[1] 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.
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’[1][4] and hysteresis in economics.
