As part of a growing series related to the newly-launched open access journal Advanced Metamaterials, On Thursday 28th May 2026, at 12:00 (UK time) Editor Prof. David Cumming, Glasgow University, will present a free talk entitled "Metamaterials for Imaging and Polarimetry".
About the Speaker:
Prof Cumming leads the Microsystem Technology group that is funded by several major grants and delivers research in medical sensors and systems, CMOS integrated circuits and biosensors, VLSI design for sensor applications, lab-in-a-pill, imaging technology for visible, mid-IR and terahertz applications, nanotechnology and photonics, including metamaterials and surface plasmon resonance.
Why Come Along?
In the talk you can expect to learn about the manipulation of the phase and polarisation state of light across large surfaces, using metamaterials, which offer specific advantages over traditional materials.
The talk will include a discussion of work on RGB filtering for advanced digital imaging, including results on colour image reconstruction using single photon avalanche detectors (SPADs). In addition, there will be a focus on polarimetry in the terahertz band using axiconic structures and the design of metalenses for IR applications.
Advanced Metamaterials, A New Sister Journal to Plasmonics (2024 Impact Factor 4.3)
All of these topics are welcome in the journal, and publishing fee waivers are available for promising papers: Home | Advanced Metamaterials | Springer Nature Link
How Do I Join?
The webinar is free, and will be recorded for anyone who cannot make it. Please share if you think anyone will be interested. Q&A is encouraged!

More About the Journals Plasmonics and Advanced Metamaterials
Plasmonics journal possesses a 2024 Impact Factor of 4.3, and is led by some of the top minds in plasmonic research. Advanced Metamaterials, a new open access journal, is a sister journal to Plasmonics.
Both journals are led by Prof. Chris Geddes of the Institute of Fluorescence, Maryland, USA, who is internationally known in fluorescence and plasmonics. His laboratory is widely attributed to the development of the Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence (MEF), Fluorophore Induced Plasmonic Current (FIPC) and related plasmon-fluorescence technologies, securing in excess of $25 million in recent years to pursue his research aspirations.
