Professor Erich Peter Wohlfarth and the Wohlfarth Lecture Series

The Wohlfarth lecture is given annually at the Magnetism 20xx series of conferences (previously given at CMMP) in recognition of the outstanding contribution made by Peter Wohlfarth to the field of magnetism. The lecture is jointly sponsored by the IOP Magnetism Group and the IEEE UKRI Magnetics Chapter.

Professor Wohlfarth was born in Germany in 1924 but emigrated to England with his family in 1933 where he attended Bingley Grammar School in Yorkshire. He gained his BSc in Physics from the University of Leeds in 1946 and his Ph.D. in 1948 under the direction of E.C. Stoner. After finishing his studies he became a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College where he remained until his death in 1988.
