Title: METASUPERFICIES RECONFIGURABLES DISEÑADAS CON INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL Y BASADAS EN FABRICACIÓN ADITIVA PARA APLICACIONES DE ESPACIO, IOT Y DEFENSA

Duration: 36 months

Abstract:  In this Ph.D. thesis, we propose the development of reconfigurable electromagnetic metasurfaces using additive manufacturing and artificial intelligence design. Our goal is to acquire in-depth knowledge on the development of reconfigurable absorbing and reflecting metasurfaces using additive manufacturing to lead to more advanced and complex metasurfaces. Subsequently, the target applications fall into two categories: 1) holographic pointing of optical beams for space communications, 2) multi-band cloaking for defense applications. In addition, this technology will be used in areas of the business that can be refined by metasurfaces (e.g.: metallents to increase the efficiency of a pulsed effect laser). To achieve exotic properties, the research will explore disruptive fields such as time-varying metamaterials. Topological optimization techniques with artificial intelligence will also be employed to refine the fabrication process as much as possible.
