The IEEE AP-S TC and UTS GBDTC Workshop on Metamaterials and Phased Array Technologies for 6G will bring together leading researchers and experts to discuss the latest advances and visions in metamaterials and phased array technologies.

This half-day workshop features keynote and technical talks from the IEEE AP-S President, Chairs of IEEE AP-S Technical Committees (TC4: Metamaterials and TC2: Arrays), and internationally recognized scholars, covering topics from metamaterial-enabled antennas to advanced phased array design methodologies. It is one of the first workshops organised by IEEE AP-S Technical Committees, which will provide a unique platform for academic researchers, industry professionals, and students to exchange ideas, foster collaborations, and explore future research directions in this rapidly evolving field.

Organized by A/Prof. Can Ding, A/Prof. Alessio Monti, A/Prof. Peiyuan Qin, the event is sponsored by the IEEE AP-S Technical Committee (TC) 4: Metamaterials and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Global Big Data Technologies Center (GBDTC), with co-sponsorship from IEEE AP-S TC2: Arrays and IEEE AP-S Young Professionals.

Participants will also have the opportunity to network during the coffee break and lunch sessions, encouraging discussions that may lead to future joint research initiatives in the areas of metamaterials, phased arrays, and 6G communication technologies.
