About
Marcos H. D. Guimarães is an Associate Professor in Physics of Energy Materials at the University of Cambridge (UK) and Professor of Physics at the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials (of the University of Groningen (NL). He is the principal investigator (PI) of the research group Opto-Spintronics of Quantum Materials, studying the interplay between light, electron charge and spin, in structures which are just a few atoms thick.
Marcos Guimarães studied at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil, where he obtained a Bachelor and Master degrees in Physics. He received his PhD degree in 2015 from the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. After being awarded two personal research grants, the NWO Rubicon from the Netherlands, and a Kavli Institute Fellowship from the USA, he moved to Cornell University, USA, where he expanded his research focus to other two-dimensional materials and studied them using a variety of optical and electrical techniques. In 2017 Marcos received a NWO VENI grant and returned to the Netherlands where he further extended his experimental background studying ultrafast optics in two-dimensional materials at the Eindhoven University of Technology. In February 2019 he joined the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials as an Assistant Professor. In 2023 he was awarded an ERC Starting Grant (2D-OPTOSPIN). The Guimarães group research focuses on the magnetic and spintronic properties of two-dimensional materials and metallic thin films studied by magneto-optical and electrical techniques. In 2026 he joined the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, where he continues to lead his group.
