Miguel’s research focuses on the general field of applied electromagnetics. He has published over 90 research papers in scientific journals as well as two book chapters, and has contributed over 200 communications to international conferences in the fields of metamaterials/metasurfaces, plasmonics, time-domain near-field microscopy and antennas at terahertz and infrared. He has been a member of organising and technical committees and chaired sessions in international conferences. He is a regular reviewer for several APS, AIP, IEEE, OSA, IoP, EIT and several Nature Publishing Group journals and for the Czech Science Foundation. He has received funding from the European Science Foundation and the Royal Society.
He is actively engaged in promoting research on terahertz and has delivered several courses and talks on this topic to various groups at both the national and international level. His vision is to merge concepts from two different worlds like optics and microwave engineering to realized functional materials (metamaterials) and devices that will enable the exploitation of the THz spectrum efficiently for sensing applications and short range high-space wireless communication.
Miguel will be around all afternoon, so please join us!
