معرفی
Thomas F Krauss is the Anniversary Professor of Physics at the University of York, leading the Photonics group and directing the Nanocentre Cleanroom. He holds fellowships from the Institute of Physics, Royal Society of Edinburgh, and Optica Society of America. His expertise spans photonic crystals, nanofabrication, optical biosensors, and metasurfaces. Krauss oversees major research initiatives such as the EPSRC MISSION project for mid-infrared sensors and the Wellcome Trust-funded Phenospot biosensor development. He collaborates with interdisciplinary teams in physics, chemistry, and engineering, advancing applications in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and diagnostics. His nanofabrication facility in the Nanocentre enables precise creation of photonic nanostructures using electron-beam lithography.
Education: Dipl.Ing. (Cologne, 1989); PhD Engineering (Glasgow, 1992); Chair of Optoelectronics (St Andrews, 2000); Chair of Photonics (York, 2012).
Research: Focuses on resonant photonics, biosensing, and nanophotonic devices. Key projects include photonic crystal biosensors for disease biomarkers, metasurface-enhanced mid-infrared spectroscopy, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing via optical trapping. His group develops low-cost, portable diagnostic tools for clinical and environmental use.
Grants & Awards: EPSRC Programme Grants (2017–2026), Wellcome Trust (2020–2024), InnovateUK (2022–2024), and multiple international collaborations. He has over 400 peer-reviewed publications and leads the White Rose Industrial Physics Academy.
Teaching & Supervision: Teaches undergraduate experimental physics and supervises a vibrant team of postdocs and PhD students. Current advisees include Manuel Deckart, Josh Male, and Shrishty Bakshi.
Labs & Facilities: Heads the Nanocentre Cleanroom, a state-of-the-art facility for nanostructure fabrication. Collaborates with Prof Steve Johnson (biosensors) and Dr Christina Wang (2D materials).
