Essential Concept in Metamaterials is Published on IOPScience

The textbook on the theory and background of metamaterial "Essential Concept in Metamaterials by Prof. Jensen Li" is now published on IOPScience, and available for purchase from Amazon. In this work, I contributed the cover image and helped to proofread the book.

What is being covered?

Metamaterials have reshaped how waves are studied and manipulated, making phenomena like negative refraction, cloaking, engineered dispersion, and reconfigurable wavefront control possible. What began in electromagnetics has rapidly broadened to include acoustics, elastic media, and time-modulated systems, highlighting the need for an accessible introductory resource that connects foundational principles to current advances in a clear, step-by-step manner. This book, authored by Prof. Jensen Li (my Ph.D. supervisor) is aimed at senior undergraduates and early postgraduate students who are beginning research or seeking a gateway into the metamaterial field.
