Metamaterials
Metamaterials and Metasurfaces Lab
Engineering electromagnetic materials that bend waves beyond nature.
Overview
The Metamaterials and Metasurfaces Lab focuses on advanced research in engineered electromagnetic materials designed to manipulate waves in ways not possible with natural materials. The lab integrates physics, electrical engineering, and nanotechnology to develop metamaterial structures enabling new functionalities across sensing, communication, imaging, and energy systems.
Research Focus Areas
Electromagnetic Metamaterials — design of artificial materials with unique properties such as negative refractive index and wave manipulation.
Metasurface Engineering — ultra-thin engineered surfaces for controlling reflection, refraction, and polarization of electromagnetic waves.
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces — smart metasurfaces that dynamically control wireless signals for future communication networks.
Terahertz Devices — metamaterial structures for terahertz imaging, communication, and sensing technologies.
