An Overview of Metamaterials from A Transmission-Line Perspective
In this webinar, a broad overview of metamaterials and related engineered electromagnetic structures, with particular emphasis on understanding and designing them through a transmission-line approach will be presented. This perspective provides powerful physical intuition and offers a straightforward route toward implementing such engineered media.
Key scientific and technological milestones achieved over the past two decades will be highlighted. These include the demonstration of flat Veselago–Pendry lenses capable of focusing electromagnetic waves into subwavelength spots, the development of surface electromagnetic cloaks, and a wide range of multifunctional microwave components and antennas enabled by these engineered media.

An Overview of Metamaterials from A Transmission-Line Perspective
Biography:
George V. Eleftheriades is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto Canada. Prof. Eleftheriades introduced the concept of using transmission lines to realize negative-index metamaterials in 2002. For his contributions he was awarded the 2025 IEEE Electromagnetics Award, the 2019 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society's Distinguished Achievement Award, the 2015 IEEE AP-S John Kraus Antenna Award and the 2008 IEEE Kiyo Tomiyasu Technical Field Award. He is an IEEE Fellow, a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
