The potential of the underlying Transformation Electromagnetics approaches however have much wider applicability than cloaking alone, in arguably more important applications that span communications, energy transfer, sensors and security. However, theory and concepts are outstripping practical demonstration and testing, leading to a mismatch in what may be theorised and computed and what can be realised for impact in society and commerce. In this short course, the history of research on transformation electromagnetics and metamaterials for achieving the invisibility will be reviewed. Potentials and physical limitations of metamaterials will be demonstrated through numerical simulations and microwave experiments. The roadmap for developing radically novel devices based on transformation electromagnetics and metamaterials engaging UK leading theorists, modellers and material scientists will be discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Speaker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HAO.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HAO.png 225w, https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/HAO-203x300.png 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Yang Hao received the Ph.D. degree from the Centre for Communications Research (CCR) at the University of Bristol, U.K. in 1998.

For both day ahead planning and real-time operations, the power from the wind and solar resources must<br>be predicted based on real-time observations and a series of models that span the temporal and spatial scales of the problem, using the physical and dynamical knowledge as well as computational intelligence. Accurate prediction is a Big Data problem that requires disparate data, multiple models that are each applicable for a specific time frame, and application of computational intelligence techniques to successfully blend all of the model and observational information in real-time and deliver it to the decision-makers at utilities and grid operators. This course will review the types of forecasting available and how they can be blended to meet the growing needs of utilities. We will consider both solar power forecasting and wind power forecasts, but will also discuss the additional impact on electric load and the need to balance energy supply with demand under large scale renewable deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Speaker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/E.Haupt_.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5124\" width=\"175\" height=\"220\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Sue Ellen Haupt is Director of the Weather Systems and Assessment Program of the Research Applications Laboratory of NCAR.

They are engineered materials presenting an anomalous interaction with the electromagnetic field, resulting in physical properties not otherwise obtainable through the use of natural materials. The new properties enabled by electromagnetic metamaterials initiated a process of reviewing the whole classical electrodynamics from original perspectives, with important implications for science and technology. The use of metamaterials, in fact, allows on one hand to improve the performance of conventional electromagnetic devices and, on the other hand, to design conceptually new devices such as perfect and hyper?lenses, cloaking devices, etc. Ultimately, metamaterial concept is considered today as an intermediate layer between the classical concepts of material and device in the so-called technological stack. Metamaterials, in fact, allow overcoming the conventional concept of material intended as a mere support and is getting closer to being a functionalizing layer integrated into the device. Starting from these concepts, the course will cover the theoretical background of artificial electromagnetic materials and metamaterials, the historical evolution of the concept, and the most recent and interesting applications in microwave and optical devices and systems. Particular focus will be given to miniaturized components, electrically small and multi-functional antennas, radar absorbing materials, electromagnetic invisibility devices, active metamaterials for overcoming the<br>intrinsic limitations (operation bandwidth and losses).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Speaker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/toscano.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5158\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/toscano.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/toscano-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof.-Filiberto-Bilotti received the laurea and Ph.D. degrees both in electronic engineering from \u201cRoma Tre\u201d University, Rome, Italy, in 1998 and 2002, respectively.

Focus will be on effective design architectures and synthesis strategies for fixed and adaptive arrays devoted to mobile and satellite communication and radar systems. Scanning array antennas are the basis for an ever-growing list of applications, from mobile communication and satellite communication to radar systems. The variety and complexity of these systems is such that their design requires detailed knowledge only gained through study and experience.<br>The course begins with a discussion of relevant array parameters that define antenna patterns, bandwidth, and gain. The second topic introduces the subtleties that limit performance including the electromagnetic interaction of array elements that creates a need to compensate for this effect in pattern synthesis. Array bandwidth considerations, combined with device availability, impose limits on pattern realizability.

As the field of metamaterial reaches a certain level of development, new directions and novel vistas are appearing in the horizon. Modularization and parameterization of metamaterials may be exploited to provide new functionalities and possibilities stemming from such interesting platforms. These may include \u201cmeta-systems\u201d that can be formed on the metamaterial paradigms, and new functionalities may result from proper combinations of meta-systems and metamaterials. In my group we have been exploring various features and characteristics of these concepts, topics, and directions in metamaterials, and we have been investigating new classes of applications such paradigms may provide. Some of the features of interest include nonlinearity, anisotropy, chirality, non- reciprocity, and non-locality. We have been developing the concept of \u201coptical metatronics\u201d, i.e. metamaterial-inspired optical nanocircuitry, in which the three fields of \u201celectronics\u201d, \u201cphotonics\u201d and \u201cmagnetics\u201d can be merged together. In such a paradigm, the concept of metamaterials and plasmonics optics can be exploited to bridge the gaps among these fields, to modularize, standardize, and parameterize some of the optical and electronic phenomena, and to transplant concepts from one field into another. In optical metatronics, the nanostructures with specific values of permittivity and permeability may<br>act as the optical lumped circuit elements at the nanoscale, analogous to the circuit elements in RF electronics. Nonlinearity in metatronics can also provide us with novel optical nonlinear lumped elements. Optical nanoantennas can link the \u201cmacroworld\u201d with such optical metatronics. We have also been exploring how metamaterials can be exploited to control the flow of photons, as possibly one-way flow of photons. The concept of metatronics has now been extended to other platforms such as graphene as a new paradigm for metatronic circuitry and also as<br>one-atom-thick metamaterials and one-atom-thick transformation optical devices. Extreme-parameter metamaterials, such as epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) and mu-near- zero (MNZ) metamaterials have also offered unprecedented characteristics in electromagnetic wave propagation. In this series of lectures, I will discuss various topics in the fields of electromagnetic metamaterials and plasmonic optics, will present recent research findings, and will forecast future directions and possibilities in these fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Speaker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"122\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/engheta.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5147\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Nader Engheta received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of<br>Tehran, Tehran, Iran, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the<br>California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Pasadena, CA, USA.

Metasurfaces (MTS) constitute a class of thin Metamaterials characterized by average boundary conditions. Objective of the course is to give basic background, physical insight, and a view on the engineering application at the state of the art about Metamaterial and Metasurfaces. Emphasis will be given on EM application at microwave frequency, with some lecture about nanostructured metamaterials at optical frequencies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Speaker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/stefano.maci_.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5149\" width=\"193\" height=\"258\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Stefano Maci was born in Rome in 1961.
