Symposium on Acoustic Metamaterials (SAM)

The 4^th Symposium on Acoustic Metamaterials (SAM) will be held from 15^th to 17^th of May 2024 in Aegina (Greece), organised by the Young Researchers in Acoustic Metamaterials (YRAM).

The Symposium on Acoustic Metamaterials (SAM) is mainly targeted to Early Career Investigators, PhD candidates, and those interested in expanding their knowledge about acoustic and elastic metamaterials. This symposium aims at sharing the latest advances and breakthroughs while fostering a community of young researchers in the field of acoustic/elastic metamaterials. The 4^th SAM will consist of five sessions, featuring 30-35 regular talks of 20 minutes each by early-career researchers, and 4 plenary lectures, each lasting 1 hour, delivered by renowned researchers.

Plenary speakers:

• Agnès Maurel, DR CNRS, Institut Langevin, ESPCI (FR)
• Ada Amendola, Pr, University of Salerno, Salerno (IT)
• Michael Haberman, Pr, The University of Texas, Austin (US)
• Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Pr, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (GR)

Main topics covered by the 4^th SAM:

– Acoustic/elastic metamaterials and phononic crystals;

– Acoustic/elastic metasurfaces;

– Non-reciprocity, parity-time symmetry and temporal modulation for the manipulation of acoustic/elastic waves;

– Non-linear, non-Hermitian and topological acoustic/elastic systems;

– New applications of metamaterial-based functional devices for acoustic sensing, cloaking, imaging, absorption, insulation, energy harvesting.

Additionally, we are delighted to extend an invitation for a cultural visit in Aegina on Thursday (May 16^th) and to arrange an optional extra social day in Athens on Saturday (May 18^th). We hope these events will provide more informal settings for continued discussions.

Participation fee for presenters/attendees is 250.00€. This fee covers 3 lunches + morning and afternoon catering + the Thursday’s cultural visit, from 15^th to 17^th of May 2024.

Registration is mandatory before submitting the Abstract:

– For attendees without a presentation, registration should be completed online before 15^th April 2024.

– For presenters, Abstracts submission should be performed simultaneously with the registration before 15^th March 2024.
