Abstract: Recent advances in metamaterials, programmable electromagnetic structures, and AI-enabled materials discovery are reshaping the future of wireless communications, sensing, and intelligent systems. This talk will present recent research from Queen Mary University of London on software-defined materials, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces,  and emerging functional materials for adaptive electromagnetic systems. The seminar will discuss how AI and data-driven approaches are accelerating the discovery and optimisation of complex electromagnetic structures and functional materials for next-generation communication and sensing platforms. Applications ranging from 6G wireless systems and satellite communications will be highlighted, together with challenges in scalability, manufacturability, and real-world deployment.

 

Biography: Yang Hao is Professor of Antennas and Electromagnetics at Queen Mary University of London and currently holds the QinetiQ/Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair. His research spans metamaterials, antennas, wireless systems, intelligent electromagnetic environments, and AI-enabled functional materials. He has led major UK and international research programmes in metamaterials, transformation electromagnetics, and future wireless technologies, and co-founded the satellite communications company All.Space. Professor Hao is a Fellow of the IEEE and the Royal Academy of Engineering, and has received several international distinctions, including the 2024 EurAAP Antenna Award and the IEEE John Kraus Antenna Award.

Welcome!

Best regards,
Tommy Svensson, IEEE VT/COM/IT Sweden Chapter
