Dr. Andy Thomas is a physicist and currently serves as the acting head of the Chair of Solid State Physics at TU Dresden. He specializes in the study of magnetic materials and their applications in advanced electronic devices. His research focuses on quantum materials, spin transport phenomena, and magnetic heterostructures. Using techniques like atomic layer deposition and magnetron sputtering, he fabricates and investigates thin films with unique magnetic and topological properties. Dr. Thomas’s work contributes to the development of energy-efficient technologies and next-generation spintronic devices.
