Rair Macêdo is a theoretical physicist with extensive experience in experimental physics. He began his research career at the age of 16 during his BSc studies, focusing on novel optical effects in natural hyperbolic media. He completed his PhD in physics at the University of Glasgow, specializing in advanced theoretical modeling of electromagnetic properties of magnetic structures. Dr. Macêdo has been awarded a Leverhulme Trust Early Research Fellowship, during which he developed novel metamaterials for controlling and manipulating electromagnetic waves. Currently, he serves as a Reader in Electrodynamics within the Electronic and Nanoscale Engineering Division at the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow. His research interests include fundamental light–matter interactions and their applications in nanoscale quantum systems. He is particularly focused on hybridising photons with elementary excitations of matter such as collective spin excitations and lattice vibrations. His work spans both theoretical and experimental domains and includes developing new methods for controlling spin dynamics in magnetic materials. In addition to his research, Dr. Macêdo is involved in public engagement activities aimed at promoting diversity in STEM fields, with a commitment to helping disadvantaged groups pursue education in science and engineering.
