Professor Olivier J. F. Martin, ETH
Professor Martin specializes in electromagnetic scattering numerical simulations. We have collaborated with his group at the ETH in Zurich since 1995, on topics that include plasmon resonant particles, photonic band gap structures, and recently metamaterials. Utilizing a numerical implementation that constructs the Green's tensor for a wide variety of systems, Professor Martin's group has a unique approach to solving very difficult scattering configurations.

Professor Costas Soukoulis, Iowa State
We have collaborated with Professor Soukoulis and his group since 1993, when we jointly published one of the first works on metal photonic band gap structures. Professor Soukoulis and his group apply a variety of theoretical and numerical methods to understanding the properties of photonic crystals, as well as disordered systems.

Professor John B. Pendry, Imperial College, London
Our initial work on Left-handed Metamaterials was inspired by the earlier work of Professor Pendry and co-workers, who suggested the use of wires to create negative permittivity and Split Ring Resonators to create negative permeability. Professor Pendry currently studies a wide range of topics in photonics, including plasmon resonant structures, photonic band gap materials and, of course, negative refractive index materials. We are currently collaborating on several topics, among them being a more systematic study of the "perfect lens" concept that Professor Pendry introduced.
