Prof. dr. Marcos Guimaraes

Marcos Guimaraes is an associate professor at the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials at the University of Groningen. During his PhD he worked with electronic and spin transport in high-mobility devices based on graphene, and during his postdoc he broadened his research directions to include other two-dimensional materials and other techniques, such as high-frequency spin-orbit torque characterization and time-resolved magneto-optics through optical pump-probe measurements. Since 2019 he leads his own research group in Groningen, working on optical and opto-electronic studies of the interplay of light, charge and spins/magnetism in high-quality nanodevices based on van der Waals heterostructures.
