2D and Quasi-2D Composite and Nanocomposite Materials

Ross McPhedran is Honorary Emeritus Professor of Physics at Sydney University, Australia. He holds a personal chair in Electromagnetic Physics at the University of Sydney. He is well known internationally for his work on many aspects of the science of waves, including diffraction physics, composite materials, photonic band gap materials and photonic crystal fibers, metamaterials, multipole formulations, and elastodynamics. Simon Gluzman is presently an Independent Researcher (Toronto, Canada) and formerly a Research Associate at PSU in Applied Mathematics. He is interested in Re-summation methods in theory of random and regular composites and the method of self-similar and rational approximants. Vladimir Mityushev is the Professor of Cracow University of Technology, a leader of the research group www.materialica.plus. He is interested in mathematical modeling and computer simulations, Industrial mathematics and boundary value problems and their applications.. Natalia Rylko is an associate professor at the Institute of Technology, at the Pedagogical University of Krakow, Poland. She is interested in random fields in composites and their applications to RVE and stir casting processes.
