Title
17th International Congress on Artificial Materials for Novel Wave Phenomena

Scientific Fields
Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Materials Science

Aim of the Conference
was to create a unique contemporary forum for sharing the latest research results on metamaterials, gathering communities from engineering, physics, applied mathematics, and materials science working on artificial materials and their applications in electromagnetism/optics/photonics, acoustics/mechanics, and multiphysics.

Organizers
The conference was organized by the METAMORPHOSE VI AISBL and the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH).

Chair
First of all, the initiative of Mrs. Maria Kafesaki, a researcher at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL) of the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH), and Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Crete, was the reason for the realization of the 17th International Congress on Artificial Materials for Novel Wave Phenomena once again in Greece. Furthermore, Mrs. Kafesaki’s research focuses on the propagation of electromagnetic and elastic waves in periodic and random media, with an emphasis on photonic crystals and metamaterials, where she has extensive theoretical and computational experience.
