Werner, principal investigator of the projects, and his research team’s work stands at the forefront of the design and application of electromagnetic and optical metamaterials. McCain Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering and director of the Computational Electromagnetics and Antennas Research Lab (CEARL) at Penn State. “These projects aim to exploit the extraordinary properties of metamaterials to develop disruptive antenna technology capable of meeting the increasing performance demands and compact form factors of next-generation surveillance and communications systems,” said Doug Werner, John L. The funding for these three projects comes from the Department of Defense, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and Lockheed Martin. The successful design and application of metamaterial-augmented antennas could enhance the United States’ military and homeland security responses as well as commercial infrastructure including 5G and 6G broadband wireless communication systems and devices such as cell phones and tablets. To create advanced electromagnetic and optical metamaterials - artificial materials engineered to possess unique qualities not available in natural materials - Penn State researchers have been awarded more than $6.5 million in funding for three projects. ![]()
