Lake Shore Cryotronics: Meet & Greet

Join us on Thursday March 3rd to meet with Scott Yano, CTO of Lake Shore Cryotronics, a CQE partner. Scott will provide a brief overview of the company, focusing on how Lake Shore is enabling quantum technology development through its product offering. After the presentation, Scott would like to hear from you about your experimental needs. 

This will be a hybrid event that is open to only the CQE community. 

Registration is required to attend in-person or virtually as space is limited. 

Please contact quantum@uchicago.edu for the link to register. 

About Lakeshore:

Lake Shore Cryotronics, based in Westerville OH, specializes in measurement and control solutions to drive the discovery of new materials. Lake Shore products solutions include cryogenic temperature sensors and instrumentation down to 5 mK, magnetic measurement up to 35 Tesla, cryogenic wafer probe stations to 1.5 K, UHV optical cryostats down to 10E-11 Torr, and materials characterizations solutions that explore the electronic and magnetic properties of next-generation quantum materials. Lake Shore serves an international base of research customers at leading university, government, and commercial institutions to drive quantum technology development. 

About the Speaker:

Scott Yano is a graduate of The Ohio State University in Electrical Engineering. While at OSU, he was a member of the ElectroScience Laboratory, where his research focused on the design and development of low-noise, high dynamic-range transceivers for investigating electromagnetic propagation.

Scott then spent two years in the wireless communication industry before joining the Davis Heart & Lung Research Institute of OSU, where he was a Senior Research Engineer involved in developing NMR and EPR magnetic resonance imaging systems. These systems covered operational frequencies from just above DC to 10 GHz and used both electro- and superconducting magnets with fields ranging from a few hundred Gauss up to 8 T. Scott joined Lake Shore in 2004, serving first as a Project Manager working on a SBIR Phase II contract to develop control instrumentation for the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Advanced Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigerator (A-ADR). In 2008, he was promoted to Engineering Product Manager for Lake Shore’s line of cryogenic probe stations, and in 2011, he also added the responsibility as Project Manager for the development of a cost-effective THz-based characterization system for semiconductor materials research. In 2013, Scott was then promoted to Marketing Product Manager for all material characterization systems and later that same year, was appointed VP of Product Development, responsible for overseeing the activities for Lake Shore’s entire innovative product development group. In July of 2020, Scott was promoted to CTO with added responsibility to drive the corporate technology roadmap across the organization including organic growth, partnering, and M&A strategy. Scott is a registered Professional Engineer (PE), a member of the IEEE Microwave Theory & Techniques Society (MTTS) and IEEE Magnetics Society, has 7 peer-reviewed publications to his credit, and holds 1 U.S. patent.
