Active Wave Control Lab

We are interested in the active control of wave propagation in both engineered media and open environments. Our research spans acoustic, elastic, and electric-circuit metamaterials, as well as free-space acoustic systems. In metamaterials, we design actively controlled architectures that emulate quantum-mechanical wave phenomena—including topological effects, tunneling, and non-Hermitian physics—to enable autonomous and reprogrammable waveguiding. In open acoustic domains, we develop methods for active acoustic illusions and field shaping, allowing sound to behave as though it interacts with virtual structures. Our work combines control theory, acoustics, vibrations, condensed matter physics, and electronics. Read More.
