Michael Coey
John Michael David Coey (24 February 1945 – 6 October 2025), known as Michael Coey, was a Northern Irish-born experimental physicist working in the fields of magnetism and spintronics. He was a professor at the Trinity College Dublin (TCD).
Michael Coey completed a BA in Physics at Jesus College, Cambridge in 1966; he then travelled across Europe and Asia, teaching English and Physics in India. He completed his PhD from University of Manitoba (1971) for a thesis on "Mössbauer Effect of 57Fe in Magnetic Oxides" with advisor Allan H. Morrish.
He was at the physics department of Trinity College Dublin (TCD) from 1978. He obtained his ScD in 1987 and passed his Habilitation from the University of Grenoble in 1986, and an honorary doctorate in 1994. He served as Erasmus Smith's Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy at TCD from 2007 to 2012. After retirement, he was an Emeritus professor at TCD.
Coey was a Professor of Physics at TCD from 1987, and was appointed Erasmus Smith's Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy (2007–2012), a chair that dates from 1724.
In 1994 Coey founded Magnetic Solutions and went on to be the cofounder of CRANN Ireland's Nanoscience Research institute (2002) and conceived Dublin's unique Science Gallery (2006). He published over 700 scientific articles on diverse aspects of magnetism, many of which have had significant impact on the scientific community.
His textbook Magnetism and Magnetic Materials has been well received.
He delivered a public lecture on the History of Magnetism in Paris in 2010.[citation needed] He held positions at National University Singapore and the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden.[citation needed] He also worked with Beihang University in Beijing for five years.
He was part of numerous collaborations including: IBM Yorktown Heights (1979), Institute of Physics Peking (1980), McGill University (1982), University of Bordeaux (1984), CEN-Grenoble (1985), Johns Hopkins APL (1986), Universite de Paris IV (1992), University of California, San Diego (1997), Florida State University (1998), University of Paris XI (1998), Leman University Geneva (2001/3), University of Strasbourg (2006).[citation needed]
