Samuel Shallcross

Dr. Samuel Shallcross is a researcher at the Max Born Institute in the department of Theory of Dynamics in Quantum Materials. His work focuses on quantum materials, particularly graphene, exploring ultrafast generation and control of spin and valley currents using light pulses. His research intersects condensed matter physics, nanotechnology, and nonlinear optics, with recent publications in Nature, Nano Letters, and Science Advances.

Research Interests include:

• Ultrafast spin and valley current control in graphene
• Light-matter interactions in 2D materials
• Theoretical modeling of exciton dynamics
• Quantum control via THz and infrared light

Collaborations with researchers like S. Sharma, J. K. Dewhurst, and D. Gill highlight interdisciplinary approaches to quantum material dynamics. His work employs computational methods and first-principles calculations to investigate novel quantum phenomena.
