Thang Duy Dao began his research career at the Institute of Physics in Vietnam in 2008, focusing on the Hubbard model for strongly correlated electron systems, laser physics, and spectroscopy. In 2012, he joined National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan, where he pursued research in nanoplasmonics, leading to a PhD from Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST). After completing his PhD, he continued at NIMS as a postdoctoral researcher, working on plasmonic metasurfaces with support from a JSPS fellowship. He is currently a staff scientist at Silicon Austria Labs GmbH (SAL) in Austria, advancing research in nanophotonics, metaoptics, and MEMS sensors.
