Artificial materials represent composite media that can be meticulously engineered to exhibit unique wave propagation behaviors. Our research endeavors are driven by the intriguing principles underlying these materials, such as effective models, and their broad applications, including perfect absorption. In this presentation, I will outline our recent advancements in our innovative design strategies for novel artificial materials from both forward first-principle physics-based modeling and data-driven approaches. Specifically, I will highlight our pioneering work in the designs of double-zero-index materials for both electromagnetic and acoustic waves. Additionally, I will discuss our discovery of the acoustic Purcell effect for enhanced emission, as well as our development of analytic and numerical solutions for space-time modulated wave systems. Furthermore, I will delve into our practical solution for achieving broad frequency cloaking of invisibility. These accomplishments hold significant promise for a wide range of applications spanning sound control, communication, sensing, imaging and more.
