Conference: Mathematical Methods for Novel Metamaterials

CBMS会议：新型超材料的数学方法将于2024年5月在奥本大学举行。为期五天的会议将包括一系列讲座和讲师与与会者之间以及与会者自己之间的深入讨论。会议将(i)向应用数学、物理和工程专业的研究生、博士后和初级研究人员介绍亚波长超材料的最新数学研究和材料科学的新发展；（ii）规划未来的发展方向，并提出该领域的开放性问题；（iii）在数学、物理和工程领域建立新的合作关系。首席讲师Habib Ammari教授（ETH z<e:1> rich）是复杂介质中的波传播现象以及光子学和声子学数学建模方面的世界领先专家，他将提供十场讲座，并介绍由各种设置的亚波长谐振器组成的超材料和时间调制亚波长超材料的连贯数学理论。此外，还将由该领域的其他五位领先的应用数学家和物理学家进行五次辅助讲座。辅助讲座是对主要讲座的补充，重点关注本领域研究的以下方面：(1)超材料及其在实验室中观察到的迷人现象；(2)复杂超材料中波散射模拟的计算算法；(3)五模超材料；(4)拓扑光子材料的数学理论；(5)随机介质中量子光学的数学建模。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The CBMS Conference: Mathematical Methods for Novel Metamaterials will be held at Auburn University in May 2024. The five-day conference will consist of a series of lectures and intensive discussions between the lecturers and the conference participants and also among the conference participants themselves. The conference will (i) present the state-of-the-art mathematical research in subwavelength metamaterials and the new development in material sciences for graduate students, postdoc and junior researchers from Applied Mathematics, Physics and Engineering; (ii) chart future directions and formulate open problems in this field; (iii) establish new collaborations across the boundaries of mathematics, physics and engineering.The principal lecturer Professor Habib Ammari (ETH Zürich), who is a world-leading expert in wave propagation phenomena in complex media and mathematical modeling in photonics and phononics, will deliver ten lectures and present a coherent mathematical theory for metamaterials consisting of subwavelength resonators in various settings and for time-modulated subwavelength metamaterials. In addition, five supporting lectures will be given by five other leading applied mathematicians and physicists in the field. The supporting lectures are complementary to the principal lectures by focusing on the following aspects of research in the field: (1) metamaterials and their fascinating phenomena observed in the lab; (2) computational algorithms for modeling the wave scattering in complex metamaterials; (3) pentamode metamaterials; (4) mathematical theory for topological photonic materials; (5) mathematical modeling for quantum optics in random media.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
