Siebadji Daniel joined the Sotomayor Group at INL as a Postdoctoral Researcher in November 2025. His current research focuses on the design and characterisation of nanophononic waveguides for lossless information transport, contributing to emerging information technologies within the LEIT Project.

Daniel obtained an MSc in Electronic Engineering from Bangor University, UK, where his dissertation focused on the application of biosuperlenses in lithography, imaging, and Raman amplification. Following his master’s degree, he was employed as a Research Project Officer on the SMART Horizon Project, where he worked on laser–material interaction processes. His responsibilities included the design, characterisation, and implementation of laser-based processes for optical glass cleaning and surface engineering to induce hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties.

He later moved to France to pursue a PhD in Nanophysics, which he completed in 2024. During his doctoral research, he worked within the SPINOXIDE Project, where he designed and built an ultrafast optical spectroscopy setup capable of probing all energetic transitions in ZnO quantum wells simultaneously. This work enabled the identification of spin–momentum dilation points, with the aim of improving spin injection efficiency in spintronic devices.
