 EUPROMETA – 27th Doctoral School on Metamaterials
Electromagnetic, acoustic, and thermal invisibility
The anomalous interaction between electromagnetic/acoustic/thermal fields and artificial
engineered materials / metamaterials allows obtaining unique properties that can be successfully
used to design conceptually new and unprecedented components, such as invisibility cloaks. The
course – taught by the most eminent scientists working in the fields of electromagnetic (from DC to
microwaves and optics), acoustic, and thermal invisibility – aims at giving the basic principles on
the theory, design, and, experiments of metamaterial-based cloaking and invisibility in the different
fields of Physics and Engineering.
The course is aimed at post-graduate research students in Physics, Material Science, and
Engineering, academic and industrial experts, who are interested in metamaterial cloaking.
