The Smart Waves program brings together expertise from multiple disciplines to advance the frontiers of research on smart waves. This rapidly evolving field spans optics, acoustics, microwaves, and seismology, with major applications in healthcare, communications, and sustainable development.
Since the 2000s, innovations such as metamaterials, wavefront shaping, and dense transceiver networks have profoundly transformed how waves are controlled and utilized. Smart Waves aims to structure and accelerate research in this area through four strategic pillars :
– Understanding wave propagation in complex media and quantifying the information they carry.
– Controlling waves to generate arbitrary wavefronts and optimize information transmission.
– Developing quantitative imaging techniques, applicable to both biological systems and inert materials.
– Designing new materials to make waves more agile and unlock new avenues for innovation.
By fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration and stimulating the emergence of new research themes, Smart Waves aims to position PSL and ESPCI as global leaders in the field of intelligent wave technologies.
