McGroddy 2022 Recipient Daniel C. Ralph, Cornell University

"For pioneering studies of materials physics in spin-transport and related devices."

Dan Ralph, CNF Director from 2009 - 2016, is the F. R. Newman Professor of Physics at Cornell University and a member of the Kavli Institute at Cornell for Nanoscale Science. He received the 2022 James C. McGroddy Prize for New Materials for work with his long-time collaborator Bob Buhrman, who passed away in April 2021.

James C. McGroddy Prize for New Materials

To recognize and encourage outstanding achievement in the science and application of new materials. This shall include the discovery of new classes of materials, the observation of novel phenomena in known materials leading to both fundamentally new applications and scientific insights, and shall also include theoretical and experimental work contributing significantly to the understanding of such phenomena. The prize consists of $10,000 plus a certificate citing the contribution of the recipient and an allowance for travel to the meeting of the Society at which the award is presented. It is awarded annually.
