</span><strong><span style='font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Biography:</span></strong><span
style='color:black'> <br>
Prof. Gomez received his Ph.D. from the </span><span style='color:#FF6600'><a
href="http://www.umcp.umd.edu/"><span style='color:#FF6600'>University of
Maryland, College Park</span></a></span><span style='color:black'>,
specializing in Condensed Matter Physics and Surface Science. Prior to this,
he obtained an MS degree from <a href="http://www.wayne.edu/">Wayne State
University</a> in Experimental Atomic Physics and a BS degree from the
University of the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Philippines</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
His Ph.D. work was the development of scanning tunneling microscopy to probe
the atomic structures of semiconductor surfaces. Since then he became
interested in information storage technology and the fundamental <span
class=SpellE>nanotechnological</span> properties of magnetic thin films. He
is actively engaged in the development of scanned probe magnetic microscopy
to understand the physics of magnetism at reduced dimensions as well as the
development new magnetic devices that utilize the novel magnetic properties
at the nanometer length scales. He has authored over 60 papers, a book
chapter and holds 2 U.S. Patents on this and other related subjects. He has
served in various positions with the IEEE <span class=SpellE>Magnetics</span>
Society, including an editor and Publication Chair of<span class=GramE>
<span class=SpellE>Intermag</span></span> 2000 and the 8th Joint MMM-<span
class=SpellE>Intermag</span> Conference in 2001 and a member of the IEEE
Transaction of <span class=SpellE>Magnetics</span> Editorial Board. In 2004,
he was appointed as the General Chair of <span class=SpellE>Intermag</span>
2006 and the Chair of the Technical Committee of the IEEE <span class=SpellE>Magnetics</span>
Society. He was awarded the department's 1998 George Corcoran Award for
significant contributions to engineering education and the National Science
Foundation CAREER award in 2000. He is particularly proud of being recognized
as an influential educator in the 2001 Celebrating Teachers Program of
University of Maryland's Center for Teaching Excellence. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

atomic and molecular length scales. He directs a modest group of postdoctoral
associates and students (<span class=SpellE>Nano/Magnetics</span>) who seek
to understand and exploit novel quantum effects that manifest themselves at
reduced dimensions and size. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
