The extreme manipulation of fields has been mad e possible by the fine spatial control and wide range of material properti es that can be attained through subwavelength structuring. Research in thi s area has resulted in devices which overcome the diffraction limit\, rend er objects invisible\, and even break time reversal symmetry. It has also led to flattened and conformal optical systems and ultra-thin antennas. Th is seminar will identify recent advances in the growing area of metamateri als\, with a focus on metasurfaces: two dimensional metamaterials. The tal k will explain what they are\, the promise they hold\, and how these field -transforming surfaces are forcing the rethinking of electromagnetic/optic al design.\n\nElectromagnetic metasurfaces are finely patterned surfaces w hose intricate patterns/textures dictate their electromagnetic properties. Conventional field-shaping devices\, such as lenses in prescription eye g lasses or a magnifying glass\, require thickness (propagation length) to m anipulate electromagnetic waves through interference. In contrast\, metasu rfaces manipulate electromagnetic waves across negligible thicknesses thro ugh surface interactions\, by impressing abrupt phase and amplitude discon tinuities onto a wavefront. The role of the visible (propagating) and invi sible (evanescent) spectrum in establishing these discontinuities will be explained. In addition\, it will be shown how metasurfaces allow the compl ete transformation of fields across a boundary\, and how this unique prope rty is driving a new generation of ultra-compact electromagnetic and optic al devices with unparalleled field control. Metasurfaces will be described that exhibit various field tailoring capabilities including multiwaveleng th and multifunctional performances and extreme field shaping. In addition \, metasurfaces with multi-input to multi-output capabilities will be pres ented that open new opportunities in adaptive and trainable designs.\n\nBI OGRAPHY\n\nAnthony Grbic received the [B.A.Sc](http://b.a.sc/).\, [M.A.Sc] (http://m.a.sc/).\, and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the U niversity of Toronto\, Canada\, in 1998\, 2000\, and 2005\, respectively.
