Light People: Prof. Lei Zhou spoke about metasurfaces
Prof. Lei Zhou is a leading figure in metamaterials and metasurfaces. His pioneering works on developing gradient-index metasurfaces and utilizing ultrathin anisotropic materials for polarization control have co-shaped the foundational framework of metasurfaces. In addition to his research achievements
Prof. Zhou serves as Vice President of Fudan University - one of China’s most prominent universities - and was recently appointed as the Head of Fudan’s College of Future Information Technology. With such roles
he’s been deeply involved in many strategic initiatives and policies that contribute to the well-being of the scientific community. To shed light on the above
Light: Science & Applications
invited Prof. Lei Zhou for an in-depth conversation.
