Professor George Eleftheriades, of the University of Toronto, is a pioneer in the field of metamaterials and metasurfaces, which are engineered electromagnetic materials and surfaces with unprecedented capabilities. Most notably, he demonstrated how to realize metamaterials using networks of loaded transmission lines. These new materials have found applications in several areas, including wireless communications, radar, super-resolution imaging, security, and defence. Professor Eleftheriades is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Royal Society of Canada and has received many of the most prestigious national and international awards in his field.
