Multiple scattering in engineering and applied sciences

Workshop theme

In many cases, multiple scattering models and methods are designed with a specific application in mind, typically in engineering or applied sciences. The workshop will bring together researchers applying multiple scattering to solve real-world problems, so as to identify common knowledge gaps and emerging applications. The application areas include among others mechanics and thermal physics, interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter and acoustics. Special focus will be placed on both structured materials and metamaterials for which semi-analytic approach to multiple scattering is pivotal. These kinds of materials allow waves to be manipulated on demand.

The main goal of the workshop is bringing together experts working in this field to foster the dissemination and sharing of ideas that could lead to innovative solutions and pave the way for the development of devices for various applications in the broad field of Wave Physics. The sharing of theoretical, numerical and experimental results is welcome. We encourage participants to submit their work in this field concerning, among others, the following topics:

Metamaterials;
Metasurfaces;
Homogenization techniques for periodic structures;
Non-reciprocal manipulation of waves;
Topological and parity-time symmetric systems.
Meta-devices based on transformation acoustics/optics.
Disordered and Hyperunifom materials.
New physical concepts to exploit waves;
New applications of functional devices based on both structured materials and metamaterials for sensing, masking, imaging, absorption, energy recovery, etc.

The workshop will include invited presentations given by distinguished scientists and contributed talks. The participation of early career researchers and researchers working in industry is particularly encouraged.

Applications for this workshop are now closed
