Pawan Tyagi is a Professor at the University of the District of Columbia, where he leads research in materials science, applied physics, and spintronics. His work focuses on molecular spintronics, magnetic tunnel junctions, and the influence of anisotropy and coupling effects on spin orientations in molecular devices. Recent publications explore electron spin resonance in magnetic tunnel junctions, single-molecule magnets in diode structures, and magnetically assembled catalysts for oxygen evolution. He directs the NSF-CREST Center for Nanotechnology Research and Education, securing over $10 million in funding, including a 2026 renewal award. His research integrates condensed matter physics, magnetism, and molecular electronics to advance magnetic device technologies.
