Research Accomplishments Spatially Variant Lattices Capable of spatially varying unit cell orientation, lattice spacing, fill fraction, material composition, and more, in arbitrary patterns without deforming the unit cells or introducing defects.
Spatially Variant Anisotropic
Metamaterials (SVAMs) Improves electromagnetic compatibility by reshaping the near-field around components. Excellent for placing antennas and other components in close proximity.
Spatially Variant Photonic Crystals
Controls light in three dimensions with unprecedented abruptness even using low refractive index. World record for tightest bend of unguided optical beam. Able to multiplex different functions and physics within the same volume of space. Stereo image of EM Lab logo High Power Microwave Frequency Selective Surfaces Contact Information Demonstrated world’s highest (202) 64-EMLAB power FSS operating in excess of rcrumpf@utep.edu 2.0 GW.
