DESCRIPTION:Prof. Andrea Alù\, University of Texas at Austin\nMetamateria
 ls and plasmonics offer unprecedented opportunities to tailor and enhance 
 the interaction of waves with materials. In this talk\, I discuss our rece
 nt research activity in electromagnetics\, nano-optics and acoustics\, sho
 wing how suitably tailored meta-atoms and suitable arrangements of them op
 en exciting venues to manipulate and control waves in unprecedented ways.\
 nI will discuss our most recent theoretical and experimental results\, inc
 luding nanostructures and metasurfaces to control wave propagation and rad
 iation\, large nonreciprocity without magnetism\, giant nonlinearities in 
 properly tailored metamaterials\, and parity-time symmetric meta-atoms and
  metasurfaces. Physical insights into these exotic phenomena\, new devices
  based on these concepts\, and their impact on technology will be discusse
 d during the talk.\nBio: Andrea Alù is an Associate Professor and the Da
 vid & Doris Lybarger Endowed Faculty Fellow in Engineering at the Universi
 ty of Texas at Austin. He received his PhD from the University of Roma Tre
 \, Italy\, in 2007 and\, after a postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania
 \, he joined the faculty of the University of Texas at\nAustin in 2009.\nH
 is current research interests span over a broad range of areas\, including
  metamaterials and plasmonics\, electromagnetics\, nano-optics\, photonics
  and acoustics. Dr. Alù is a Fellow of IEEE\, OSA\, and APS\, and has re
 ceived several scientific awards\, including the NSF Alan T. Waterman awar
 d (2015)\, the OSA Adolph Lomb Medal (2013)\, and the URSI Issac Koga Gold
  Medal (2011).
