Metamaterials for Imaging and Polarimetry Webinar
Published in Materials, Physics, and Protocols & Methods
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.
Senior Publisher for Springer Nature biophysics and biochemistry journals. BA in Modern Languages and MA in Translation Studies.

Metamaterials for Sensing Applications
Advanced Metamaterials invites articles on new metamaterials which offer unique opportunities in biomedical sensing, such as surfaces which can control, enhance and focus electromagnetic radiation for the betterment of sensing.
This topical collection explores novel metamaterial structures engineered for advanced sensing applications. It highlights surfaces and composites that manipulate electromagnetic and acoustic fields – such as plasmonic metasurfaces, resonant cavities, and hyperbolic metamaterials – to enhance signal detection in biological, chemical, and environmental contexts. Emphasis will be placed on breakthroughs in sensitivity, selectivity, label-free detection, and multifunctional sensor integration, including flexible and wearable platforms for on-site analysis. Contributions on interdisciplinary approaches, such as combining metamaterials with nanotechnology or data analytics for enhanced performance, are also encouraged.
We invite original research and reviews on metamaterial-enabled sensing technologies. Expected contributions include new designs of plasmonic, dielectric, and acoustic metamaterial sensors, theoretical and experimental studies of unique sensing mechanisms, and demonstrations of high-sensitivity biosensing or chemical detection. Manuscripts may cover device fabrication methods, signal processing techniques, and integration of metamaterials with lab-on-a-chip systems. Critical evaluations of sensor performance, including bandwidth limitations, loss reduction, and scalable fabrication, are also welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Plasmonic and dielectric metamaterial biosensors for disease and biomolecule detection
• Metasurfaces and micro-structured sensors for environmental and chemical monitoring
• Terahertz, infrared, and acoustic metamaterial designs for enhanced spectroscopy and sensing
• Reconfigurable or tuneable metamaterial sensors integrated into lab-on-a-chip and wearable devices
• Nanostructured metamaterial surfaces for label-free sensing and improved signal-to-noise ratio
This collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being).
