Thomas Yager

Thomas Yager is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) within the Sotomayor Nanophononics Research Group, leveraging over 15 years of international experience in designing, fabricating, and characterizing nano-electronic and nano-photonic devices across the UK, Sweden, Latvia, and Portugal.

His academic credentials include:

• MSci in Physics from Royal Holloway, University of London (2009)
• Doctoral research at Chalmers University of Technology investigating Epitaxial Graphene Technology for Quantum Metrology

Dr. Yager's research expertise spans neuromorphic computing, nano-optomechanics, nanoelectronics, and nanophotonics, with significant contributions to semiconductor materials, biomedicine, and quantum technologies. His current NEUROPIC project pioneers programmable nano-optomechanical systems for brain-inspired computing architectures, integrating his extensive background in nanoscale device development.

Prior to INL, he held Postdoctoral Researcher and Leading Researcher positions at Riga Technical University and the Institute of Solid State Physics (University of Latvia), advancing both fundamental and industrial applications through cross-disciplinary collaborations in optoelectronics and quantum device engineering.
