Research Accomplishments
Spatially Variant Lattices
Capable of spatially varying unit cell orientation, lattice spacing, fill fraction, material composition, and more, in arbitrary patterns without deforming the unit cells or introducing defects.
Spatially Variant Anisotropic Metamaterials (SVAMs)
Improves electromagnetic compatibility by reshaping the near-field around components. Excellent for placing antennas and other components in close proximity.
Spatially Variant Photonic Crystals
Controls light in three dimensions with unprecedented abruptness even using low refractive index. World record for tightest bend of unguided optical beam. Able to multiplex different functions and physics within the same volume of space.
High Power Microwave Frequency Selective Surfaces
Demonstrated world’s highest power FSS operating in excess of 2.0 GW. Also broke records for bandwidth and field-of-view.
Computational EM
Developed an extensive suite of custom algorithms for simulating and optimizing advanced electromagnetic devices.
