George C. Hadjipanayis is a Greek-American physicist who is the Richard B. Murray Distinguished Professor of Physics Emeritus at the University of Delaware.[1]
Hadjipanayis completed his Bachelor of Science degree in physics at the University of Athens in 1969. He then moved to Canada to pursue further study in the subject, and obtained a Master of Science in 1974, followed by a doctorate in 1979, both from the University of Manitoba.[2] Hadjipanayis formerly taught at the University of Delaware[3]. In 2001, he was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society, "f[or]" his innovative and applicable investigations and development of novel permanent magnets and magnetic nanoparticles.[4]
Together with Masato Sagawa, Hadjipanayis is credited with the discovery of the magnetically hard Nd2Fe14B compound, which forms the basis for all modern Neodymium magnets.[5]
