News

December 2021 - New position! I am honored to join the Dept. of Electronics and Electromagnetism of the University of Seville as an Assistant Professor of Electromagnetism. More news to come!

July 2021 - New article! Check our latest paper as part of the Engheta group, published in Nature Communications. There we present the first analog computing device able to solve multiple equations simultaneously, paving the way for spatially and temporally parallel computing! You can find it here.

February 2021 - I have joined the University of Seville as a postdoctoral fellow funded for the next three years by a "Junta de Andalucía" fellowship. I will be working along with Prof. Francisco Medina, Prof. Rafael R. Boix and others while keeping a courtesy affiliation at UPenn to keep collaborating with Prof. Nader Engheta.

July 2020 - New article! Check my first paper as a postdoc of the Engheta group, published in Nature Communications. There we present the first application of spatiotemporal metamaterials for the control of diffusion. You can find it here.

May 2020 - I have presented two talks in this year's CLEO virtual conference. Check this spot soon to watch my presentations!

April 2020 - New article alert! Check our latest article in the journal IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation exploring the consequences of symmetry (and its absence) in terahertz extraordinary transmission arrays! It was done in collaboration with the great experimental group led by Miguel Navarro Cía at the University of Birmingham. Access it as open access on IEEExplore.

March 2020 - New article! Our paper dealing with the extraordinary transmission under transverse-electric wave illumination has been published in Photonics Research, an open access journal. You can access the paper here. It has been a great experience to act as an external collaborator in this project developed by Prof. Miguel Navarro Cía's group at the University of Birmingham.

September 2019 - New article! My tenth peer-reviewed article has been just published in the prestigious journal IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. You can find it here. Many many thanks to all my collaborators who made this possible! You can find more information about my work in the news article that the administration of the University of Exeter's CDT in Metamaterials have kindly written about this milestone.

July 2019 - New article! Check out my latest article in the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation in collaboration with Prof. Miguel Navarro Cía (University of Birmingham), Prof. Miguel Beruete (Public University of Navarra) together with Prof. R.R. Boix (University of Seville) and Prof. Kuznetsov (Novosibirsk University). We study the near-field physics of extraordinary transmission at Terahertz frequencies. This collaboration has enabled us to experimentally validate our results for the design of Terahertz hole-array antennas under several quasi-optical measuring setups which can be accurately accounted for by our analysis technique. It is an example of what the joint efforts of theoretical and experimental groups can achieve! It is accesible for everyone thanks to the University of Birmingham's open access effort here.

June 2019 - New article! Our latest article deals with the use of the Non-Uniform Fast Fourier Transform algorithm for the very fast analysis of multilayered periodic structures using entire domain singular basis functions for the spectral domain Method of Moments. Traditionally this type of basis functions could only be used in the spectral domain when one could find their analytical Fourier transform. With this method we show one can obtain a numerical Fourier transform, which is only 15% slower than calculating the analytical Fourier transform in the cases in which it exists. We have shown it can be directly applied for the design of Frequency Selective Surfaces, Reflectarray antennas and Metasurfaces. This work was done in collaboration with Prof. Rafael R. Boix and Prof. Francisco Medina Mena from the Microwave Group at the University of Seville. Available as Early Access of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation using this link.
