The International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) is an intergovernmental research organization aiming at performing cutting-edge research and development in nanotechnology and to act as an innovation integrator in multiple application domains, providing high-tech research to address major challenges of nanotechnologies in six areas: Clean Energy, Sustainable Environment, Smart Digital Nanosystems, Food, Personalised Health Tech and Advanced Materials & Computing. INL headquarters, based in Braga, North Portugal, comprise advanced special installations and several laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment, including a class 100 Central Micro and Nanofabrication Cleanroom of circa 700 m2.

 

Within the NEUROPIC Project, INL´s newly established Nanophononics Research Group, led by Professor Clivia Sotomayor Torres, will contribute with its expertise in experimental physics, nanoscale thermal transport, establishment of opto-mechanics at ambient conditions, and leading inelastic light applied to phononic. The INL NEUROPIC group is composed by two postdoctoral researchers working on opto-mechanics, and a third postdoctoral researcher still to join the team.
