Dr. Withawat Withayachumnankul, University of Adelaide Bio: Withawat Withayachumnankul received the B.Eng. (Hons) and the M.Eng. in electronic engineering from King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL), Thailand, in 2000 and 2002, respectively. From 2006-2008, he was granted an Australian Endeavour International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (EIPRS) and University of Adelaide Scholarship for Postgraduate Research to study toward his Ph.D. in the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, the University of Adelaide. During his candidature, he received an IEEE/LEOS Graduate Student Fellowship and SPIE Scholarship in Optical Science and Engineering, among other travel grants and awards. He is currently an ARC postdoctoral research fellow at School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, the University of Adelaide, and an associate at RMIT University, Australia. His research interests include metamaterials, plasmonics, and terahertz spectroscopy. |

Terahertz radiation has become an important research area in the field of electromagnetics. Known as the ‘terahertz gap’, the radiation in this 0.1 to 10 THz frequency range was initially difficult to access with conventional electronic or photonic techniques. Advents of unconventional techniques have made possible terahertz emitters and detectors with a size of a pinhead. Achieving practical applications requires novel components to manipulate terahertz waves. For this purpose, microstructures become necessary to construct terahertz components whose properties are not available from natural materials. This talk discusses some activities on terahertz microstructure research at the University of Adelaide. It covers flexible metamaterials, metamaterials in sensing, reflectarrays, plasmonic metamaterials, and coupling effects. The talk also briefly discusses the capability and activities of the Australian National Terahertz Facility in Adelaide.
