Graduate CoursesMetamaterials and Plasmonics - PHY7973This course is an introduction to the theory, implementation, characterization and application of electromagnetic metamaterials and plasmonic structures. The course will be taught in two parts; the first one will cover topics related to metamaterials while the second one will cover plasmonics. Before finalizing the course, some time will be spent looking at the relationships between the two.
