Advancing Electromagnetics for Energy Applications

Electromagnetic fields represent a fundamental aspect of nature and serve as the primary carrier of energy. New abilities to control electromagnetic fields, as enabled for example by the developments of metamaterials and nanophotonic structures, can therefore have profound implications for energy technology. In this talk we will discuss some of our efforts in applying the concepts of electromagnetic field control towards developing new energy technologies, with examples including radiative cooling, and energy transfer.
