Our people - Metamaterials Engineering Lab

Head of the Metamaterials Engineering Laboratory

Dr Feresidis leads research on electromagnetic metamaterial structures and their applications to antennas, microwave, mm-wave and THz circuits. He is an expert on the analysis and design of artificial periodic metamaterials, electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures and frequency selective surfaces (FSS), high-gain and base station antennas, leaky wave antennas, small/compact antennas, computational electromagnetics, microwave/mm-wave/THz circuits and medical imaging systems.

Researchers

James Churm, Research Fellow in the Microfabrication of Millimetre-wave Circuits

Currently working on low-loss phase shifters for millimetre-wave and terahertz systems. Utilising microfabrication processes to realise the small geometries required for metamaterials at these frequencies.
