ELEFTHERIADES, George –Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Toronto
Professor George Eleftheriades has made seminal contributions to the new subject of metamaterials. These are man-made materials that have electromagnetic properties not found in nature. Specifically, Professor Eleftheriades pioneered the use of transmission lines to synthesize metamaterials. He and his students implemented and experimentally demonstrated many forms and applications of these materials, including the first isotropic Iens with a negative refractive index at microwave frequencies that overcomes the diffraction barrier of conventional lenses. The developed devices have unlimited applications and potential to revolutionize the state-of- the-art in various disciplines, including nanotechnology, wireless telecommunications, radars, and microwave and medical imaging.
