DESCRIPTION:Dr. Withawat Withayachumnankul\, University of Adelaide\nBio: 
 Withawat Withayachumnankul received the B.Eng. (Hons) and the M.Eng. in el
 ectronic engineering from King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrab
 ang (KMITL)\, Thailand\, in 2000 and 2002\, respectively. From 2006-2008\,
  he was granted an Australian Endeavour International Postgraduate Researc
 h Scholarship (EIPRS) and University of Adelaide Scholarship for Postgradu
 ate Research to study toward his Ph.D. in the School of Electrical & Elect
 ronic Engineering\, the University of Adelaide. During his candidature\, h
 e received an IEEE/LEOS Graduate Student Fellowship and SPIE Scholarship i
 n Optical Science and Engineering\, among other travel grants and awards. 
 He is currently an ARC postdoctoral research fellow at School of Electrica
 l & Electronic Engineering\, the University of Adelaide\, and an associate
  at RMIT University\, Australia. His research interests include metamateri
 als\, plasmonics\, and terahertz spectroscopy.\nTerahertz radiation has be
 come an important research area in the field of electromagnetics. Known as
  the ‘terahertz gap’\, the radiation in this 0.1 to 10 THz frequency r
 ange was initially difficult to access with conventional electronic or pho
 tonic techniques. Advents of unconventional techniques have made possible 
 terahertz emitters and detectors with a size of a pinhead. Achieving pract
 ical applications requires novel components to manipulate terahertz waves.
  For this purpose\, microstructures become necessary to construct terahert
 z components whose properties are not available from natural materials. Th
 is talk discusses some activities on terahertz microstructure research at 
 the University of Adelaide. It covers flexible metamaterials\, metamateria
 ls in sensing\, reflectarrays\, plasmonic metamaterials\, and coupling eff
 ects. The talk also briefly discusses the capability and activities of the
  Australian National Terahertz Facility in Adelaide.
