Albrecht Jander

Albrecht Jander is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University's College of Engineering. He co-directs the Applied Magnetics Laboratory with Pallavi Dhagat, focusing on innovative applications of magnetic materials in electronic devices, spintronics, and robust data storage systems. His research has collaborators across universities, national labs, and industry partners like Army Research Labs and Nonvolatile Electronics Corporation.

• Education: Master's and Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis.

Their lab explores niche areas of magnetics, including acoustic wave-based memory (low-cost, durable alternatives to traditional devices) and magnetic sensors for medical, space, and security applications. The group maintains a collaborative, family-like environment with weekly meetings to discuss student progress.
