Assistant Professor

University of Birmingham

Dr. Samuel Lellouch (PhD, CPhys, PGCert) is an Assistant Professor at the University of Birmingham (UK), where he leads the Theory and Digital Twinning for Quantum Technologies group. He is co-Investigator for the UK National Quantum Technology Hub for Sensing, Imaging and Timing. Dr. Lellouch’s research is dedicated to accelerating the real-world deployment of quantum sensors, with applications ranging from positioning and navigation systems to space technologies and fundamental physics. By developing advanced modelling and simulation tools, including pioneering digital twins of quantum sensors, his work enables the integration of these technologies into complex environments and systems. With a grant portfolio >£1m as lead investigator (>£25m as co-I), Dr. Lellouch is a member of several major international consortia, including AION, AEDGE, ELGAR, STE-QUEST and TVLBAI. His contributions to space-based quantum technology development span projects funded by both the European Space Agency (ESA) and the UK Space Agency (UKSA). Dr. Lellouch has active industrial collaborations with key partners such as Thales, MBDA, BAE Systems, and provides expert consultancy through the recently-established Quantum Works consultancy. The author of numerous peer-reviewed publications, industrial reports and a patent, he is also Registered Expert in Quantum Technologies for the European Commission and Associate Editor for Advances in Physics: Astronomy, Astrophysics and Particle Physics. Dr. Lellouch holds a PhD in quantum physics (2014), a Young Researcher prize from IFRAF (2015) and a Chartered Physicist qualification (2024).
