DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Implementation and Applications of Advanced Electro
 magnetic Surfaces\n\nAbstract:\n\nAdvanced electromagnetic surfaces (AESs)
  comprise a spectrum of artificially engineered surfaces for manipulating 
 the temporal and/or spatial dispersion of electromagnetic waves\, and incl
 ude structures such as reflectarrays\, transmitarrays\, frequency selectiv
 e surfaces\, polarizers\, and most recently\, electromagnetic metasurfaces
 . This talk will introduce how AESs are designed and characterized at a hi
 gh level\, and discuss ways in which their capabilities can be harnessed f
 or various telecommunication and sensing applications in the microwave and
  mm-wave range. A selection of AES designs will be presented\, including e
 xperimental demonstrators of frequency-selective surfaces\, multi-band pol
 arizers\, and beam-forming surfaces in the form of reflectarrays and other
  multifunction apertures for aerospace applications. Reconfigurable surfac
 es and their capabilities will also be highlighted\, with particular empha
 sis on possible applications in in satellite missions\, as reconfigurable 
 intelligent surfaces\, and radio astronomy.\n\nDate &amp; Time: Tuesday\, Nove
