About the project
This project is about redefining the possibilities of electromagnetic wave manipulation. It will encompass theoretical research, computational modelling and hands-on experiments on nonreciprocal dynamic metasurfaces. This will include their transformative applications in academic and enterprise collaborations.
Over the past decade, static metasurfaces have become efficient tools for manipulating electromagnetic waves. However, their inherent reciprocity and fixed time frequency-invariant responses constrain their potential. To overcome these limitations and unlock the full spectrum of possibilities we use dynamic nonreciprocal metasurfaces. Dynamic metasurfaces provide versatility, reciprocity control and the ability to translate frequencies for electromagnetic waves.
Our research group is at the forefront of exploring nonreciprocal dynamic metasurfaces. We are pushing the boundaries by introducing new techniques for:
- spatiotemporal decomposition
- scattering and diffraction
- digital coding
- nonreciprocal transmission
- pure frequency conversion
- parametric wave amplification
- multifunctional operations
We aim to revolutionise telecommunications by applying nonreciprocal dynamic metasurfaces to:
- enhance signal transmission
- beamforming
- enabling new levels of signal security
The practical and innovative approach of this project will facilitate robust industrial collaborations and drive enterprise efforts. This will lead to the creation of spinouts and commercialisation opportunities.
You will work with experts in electromagnetics, materials science, signal processing and telecommunications engineering to enhance the project's enterprise potential.
Our excellent facilities provide the tools you will need to make a significant impact in this field and lay the foundation for fruitful industrial collaboration.
