Landisville, PA, (July 26, 2007) — Michael H. Walmer, president of Electron Energy Corporation (EEC), a long-standing innovator in the field of rare earth magnets, has announced the appointment of George C. Hadjipanayis to EEC’s board of directors. “Dr. Hadjipanayis is one of the nation’s leading experts on magnetic materials technology and will certainly be an asset to Electron Energy Corporation,” Walmer said.

Hadjipanayis chairs the Department of Physics and Astronomy and is the William R. Murray Professor of Physics at the University of Delaware. Previously, he held a variety of teaching and research positions, including: associate professor at Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas; research scientist, Kollmorgen Corporation, Radford, Virginia; and adjunct assistant professor, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia.

Hadjipanayis was awarded the Senior Humboldt Fellowship in Germany and received numerous University of Delaware Awards, including the prestigious Francis Alison Award. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and has received grants from federal agencies totaling more than $15 million.

Hadjipanayis has contributed technical articles to more than 450 publications. His most recent article, “Magnetic Meta-Materials for High-Technology Applications,” was published earlier this year.

In 2003, he served as chairman of the 17th Rare Earth Workshop on permanent magnets and their applications. He also organized four NATO Advanced Study Institutes and one NATO Advanced Research Workshop. Hadjipanayis has served on many program committees for the MMM and Intermag Conferences and has been on the advisory committees of the last five Rare Earth Workshops.

Hadjipanayis is currently a member of the International Advisory Committee for the Workshop on Magnetic Nanoparticles: Challenges and Future Prospects. He is also a committee member of the University of Delaware’s Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) organization.
