Angel Yanguas-Gil

Angel Yanguas-Gil is Principal Materials Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, where his research focuses on the fundamentals of materials growth and microelectronics, neuromorphic computing, and AI. He is particularly interested chemistry-based techniques such as atomic layer deposition. With a background in theoretical physics, Angel obtained his PhD at the University of Seville, Spain in 2006. Before joining Argonne in 2009, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Ruhr Universitaet in Germany and at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Angel is also a fellow of the Northwestern-Argonne Institute for Science and Engineering at Northwestern University. Currently he serves in the organizing and program committee of the Electronic Materials Conference, and the International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition and is part of Argonne’s strategic initiative in microelectronics. He was also the 2022 chair of the AVS Thin Film Division and a member of the program committee of the International Conference on Neuromorphic Systems. Beyond his research interests, he is an advocate of open source software and its application to materials, chemistry, and manufacturing.
