Congratulations to CDT alumnus Dr Tom Graham, whose paper ‘Experimental characterization of acoustic beaming from an elastic plate by coupled symmetric leaky Lamb modes’ has recently been published in Physical Review B. Tom graduated in 2019. Abstract Designer mode dispersions with properties such as negative or zero group velocities have applications in tailored wave propagation […]

XM2 Graduation Summer 2019
On 15th July, we held a post-graduation celebration for the PGRs graduating in the summer ceremony. These included not only students from our first cohort but also students from our second cohort. Their peers, other PGRs and academic staff joined to congratulate them on their fantastic achievement. These graduates have gone on to a variety […]
New Publication: Realising an ultra-wideband backward-wave metamaterial waveguide
Congratulations to our XM² alumnus Sathya Sai Seetharaman who has recently published a paper in Physical Review B on ‘Realising an ultra-wideband backward-wave metamaterial waveguide’. The authors demonstrate, through experiment and numerical modeling, that the operational bandwidth of a CSRR metamaterial waveguide can be improved by restricting cross-polarization effects in the constituent meta-atoms. Sathya is […]
