Area of Science:

  • Metamaterials and Nanophotonics
  • Electromagnetics and Applied Physics
  • Wireless Communication Technologies

Background:

  • Current reconfigurable functional metasurfaces face limitations in controlling electromagnetic functions, especially in millimeter-wavelength regimes, due to complex active element requirements.
  • The miniaturization of unit cells in metasurfaces increases the number of active elements, posing challenges for integrated function control systems.
