The Ottawa Local Network was pleased to host a Tech Talk by Dr Shulabh Gupta, Associate Professor at Carleton University. Dr Gupta currently focuses his research in high gain antennas, electromagnetic metamaterials and their applied physics applications ranging from mm-wave to optics.Following a welcome by David Mann, Dr Gupta gave an interesting talk explaining the difference between metamaterials and metasurfaces, and talked around their potential applications in network optimization and in-building targeting as well as future potential applications in defence where EM camouflaging is a key research area.  Dr Gupta was able to explain these applications clearly, and there was a lively discussion around potential applications as well as ‘future developments’ where active metasurfaces could theoretically alter EM propagation in real time according to system needs.
The audience raised many questions, and discussion continued after the talk was brought to a close.  The Ottawa Local Network would like to thank Dr Gupta for this excellent presentation, and taking the time to stay afterwards and participate in the discussion.
