Robert Stamps received BS and MS degrees from the University of Colorado, and a PhD in Physics from Colorado State University. He has taught at the University of Colorado, Ohio State University, and has been with the University of Western Australia since 1997 where he is now Associate Professor in Physics. Dr Stamps has held a Humbolt Junior Fellowship at RWTH Aachen, CNRS Professorial Fellowships (Strasbourg and Orsay), CNR Fellowship (Florence), a University of Paris VII Visiting Professorship, and received a Faculty Excellence in Teaching award in 2001. His work on exchange bias and magnetization dynamics featured in his tenure as the 2004 Wohlfarth Lecturer. Professor Stamps has published over 140 papers on a range of topics in magnetism, including linear and nonlinear dynamics of magnetic and ferroelectric nanostructures, frustrated spin systems and spin glasses, inelastic light scattering and ferromagnetic resonance, spin electronics and domain wall dynamics in constrained geometries and random systems. He is a member of the IOP, Australian AIP, and IEEE Magnetics Society, chair of the 2007 MML Symposium, and currently serves on the advisory editorial board of the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials.
