Metasurfaces: Towards Tunable and Reconfigurable Meta-devices

Dr. Weiming Zhu received his Ph.D. degree from ESIEE Paris East University, France, and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2011. His M.Sc. degree and B.Sc. degree were both from Wuhan University, China, in 2006 and 2001, respectively. Dr. Zhu was as Senior Research Fellow at School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), from 2011 to 2015. After that, he was Research Fellow in SIMTech, Singapore, A*STAR until 2017. Currently, he is as Professor in University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Dr. Zhu's main research interests are nanophotonics, MEMS, and microfluidic systems.Dr. Ai-Qun Liu received Ph.D. degree from National University of Singapore (NUS) in 1994. Currently, he is Professor at School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. Prof. Liu is interested in the research fields of photonics, optofluidics, and quantum photonic device and system. He serves as Editor and Editorial Board Member of several journals. He is Author of over 200 publications including peer-reviewed journal papers and two books. Also, he is OSA Fellow, RCS Fellow, and SPIE Fellow.

“Different types of reconfigurable metasurfaces based on MEMS, frequency selective surfaces and tunable photonic and microfluidic devices are developed throughout the entire book. These issues are covered in 10 chapters containing theory and extensive experiments. At the end of each chapter, there is a reference list for further reading. Since metasurfaces are a hot topic in microwave engineering and photonics, the book is addressed to all working in this area of research with important applications in optics and wireless communications.” (Mircea Dragoman, optica-opn.org, August 17, 2023)
