Scientific scope

Research Topics

AES welcomes theoretical, numerical, experimental and applied contributions in five research tracks. The topics listed under each track are indicative, not exhaustive: work that sits between tracks is welcome, and the committee routes each submission to the reviewers who know it best.

Track 1Antennas, Radiating Structures & Propagation

Radiating elements and arrays, the fields they launch, and the channels those fields travel through.

Indicative topics

  • Antenna theory and design
  • Arrays, phased arrays and MIMO
  • Active, adaptive and reconfigurable antennas
  • Reflectarrays, transmitarrays and lens antennas
  • Nanoantennas and optical antennas
  • Radiation, propagation, scattering and diffraction
  • Channel engineering and wave propagation
  • Wearable, conformal and integrated antennas
  • Antenna measurements and characterisation

Track 2Electromagnetic Theory, Computational Methods & Inverse Problems

The physics of fields and waves and the analytical, numerical and data-driven methods built on it.

Indicative topics

  • Fundamental electromagnetic theory
  • Analytical and numerical methods
  • Computational electromagnetics
  • Integral and differential equation methods
  • High-frequency and asymptotic methods
  • Inverse scattering and imaging
  • Optimisation and inverse design
  • Multiphysics modelling
  • Data-driven and AI-assisted physical modelling
  • Uncertainty quantification and reduced-order models

Track 3Metamaterials, Metasurfaces & Engineered Wave Control

Engineered media and surfaces, periodic structures, and the control of waves they make possible, from microwaves to optics.

Indicative topics

  • Metamaterials and artificial electromagnetic media
  • Metasurfaces and frequency-selective surfaces
  • Photonic crystals and electromagnetic band-gap structures
  • Programmable, active and reconfigurable structures
  • Non-reciprocal, nonlinear and space-time-modulated media
  • Structured electromagnetic waves
  • Wavefront shaping and flat optics
  • Cloaking, absorbers and scattering control
  • Topological and non-Hermitian wave systems
  • Engineered electromagnetic environments

Track 4Photonics, Nanophotonics, Plasmonics & Quantum Technologies

Light at the nanoscale and its interaction with matter, integrated and nonlinear photonic systems, and quantum photonics.

Indicative topics

  • Nanophotonics and nano-optics
  • Plasmonics and surface waves
  • Polaritons and strong light–matter coupling
  • Nonlinear and ultrafast photonics
  • Integrated photonics and photonic devices
  • Topological photonics
  • High-Q cavities and bound states in the continuum
  • Optical sources, detectors and modulators
  • Quantum optics and quantum photonics
  • Optical sensing, spectroscopy and imaging

Track 5RF, Microwave, Terahertz, Sensing & Electromagnetic Systems

Components, circuits and instruments from radio frequencies to terahertz, and the sensing, communication and industrial systems built with them.

Indicative topics

  • RF and microwave components and circuits
  • Millimetre-wave and terahertz technologies
  • Sources, detectors and instrumentation
  • Microwave photonics
  • Sensing, imaging and tomography
  • Measurement and characterisation systems
  • Communications and integrated sensing systems
  • Electromagnetic compatibility and signal integrity
  • Biomedical and industrial electromagnetic systems
  • Space, aerospace and field-deployable systems

Work between the tracks

Many contributions belong to more than one track: a metasurface antenna, a terahertz biosensor, an inverse method for antenna design. Choose the track closest to the main result; the committee may move a paper to another track, or to a symposium or special session where it fits better. Symposia and special sessions have their own tracks in the submission portal. Theory, computation, experiment, fabrication, characterisation and application are reviewed on the same four criteria.
