 Wed 26 Aug 202614:00 - 15:00 |  Seminar: "Empowering Connectivity: Wearable Antennas for Wi-Fi and 5G Applications", Dr Sima Noghanian - CommScope Ruckus NetworksCentre for Electronics Online Seminar Link Synopsis Wireless connectivity plays a major part in our daily lives. Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), mostly operating through Wi-Fi technology, is one of the major technologies to provide this connectivity. 5G is another technology that promises a significant increase in data transmission speed. The goal of this talk is to highlight some of the aspects of the wearable antennas designed for applications in Wi-Fi and 5G, emphasizing their significance in enabling... |

| Tue 22 Sep 2026 14:00 - 15:30 |  GAnG Seminar: Orlando Luongo - Negative refraction and gravitational metamaterials: From optical geometry to dark matterCentre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation NOTE: Pre talk intro for non experts starts at 2pm, with seminar starting at 2.30pm Title: Negative refraction and gravitational metamaterials: From optical geometry to dark matter Abstract: In this talk I propose a novel reinterpretation of spacetime as an effective optical medium capable of exhibiting negative refraction. I show that this phenomenon is not a coordinate artifact, but rather a covariant property of energy-momentum flow, arising when phase propagation and energy transport... |
| Thu 24 Sep 2026 13:00 - 14:00 | Seminar: Jaime Agudo-Canalejo (UCL) Centre for Complex Systems Emergent phenomena in protein complexes out of equilibrium: from topologically-protected states to computation Protein complexes, often made up of a few identical subunits, are very common in biology. These subunits can additionally undergo post... |
