Program

Special symposia

Two focused symposia, each continuing from AES 2026 in Catania, anchor the scientific programme of AES 2027 in Athens.

Special symposia at AES 2027

Two special symposia form part of the AES 2027 programme, covering defined topics in nanophotonics, metamaterials, computational electromagnetics and antennas. Symposium papers follow the same submission and review process as other conference contributions.

Call for papers   Special sessions   Plenary and keynote lectures

Symposium I

Recent Advances in Nanophotonics and Metamaterials

Symposium Chair

Andrea Di Falco

Symposium II

Electromagnetic Modelling, Theory and Design

Symposium Co-Chairs

Kotaro Kajikawa
Kotaro KajikawaInstitute of Science Tokyo, Japan
Junichi Takahara
Junichi TakaharaOsaka University, Japan

This symposium focuses on theoretical and computational methods for the analysis, design and optimisation of electromagnetic wave systems, radiating structures and metasurfaces operating in complex materials and environments. It brings together researchers in electromagnetic theory, numerical techniques, high-performance computing and AI-assisted design, working across antennas, metasurfaces, imaging, wireless systems and nanophotonics. Theoretical, computational and experimental contributions are welcome.

Topics

Electromagnetic theory and wave propagation in complex mediaMetamaterials, metasurfaces and topological electromagneticsReconfigurable antennas, arrays and metasurface antennasMillimetre-wave, THz and wireless propagationScattering, radiation, imaging and inverse problemsNumerical, semi-analytical and high-frequency methodsHigh-performance computing, reduced-order models and multiphysicsMachine learning and optimisation for electromagnetic designComputational methods for quantum electromagnetics and nanophotonicsModelling for electromagnetic compatibility and industrial applications
