My research is based around the novel fabrication and function of electromagnetic metamaterials. This means that I look to make these materials in new ways, demonstrate new effects and use them for new applications.
Some of the key areas I am interested in currently are:
- Self-folding, (or shape morphing) materials based on origami or kirigami concepts.
- Materials with extraordinary electromagnetic scattering behaviours for radar detection/deception and antenna design.
- Metamaterials for RFID and lnternet of Things.
- Fabrication of metamaterials using additive manufacturing and 3D weaving.
Please see this webpage for details of some upcoming project ideas.
