Wave functional materials are artificial materials that can control wave propagation as wished. In this talk, I will give a brief review of the progress of wave functional materials and reveal the secret behind the engineering of these materials to achieve desired properties.

We focus on the theoretical modeling and numerical simulation of classical wave propagation in complex systems, such as periodic structures and random media.  In this talk, I will give an overview of the research conducted in our group by emphasizing on three major aspects:  numerical method, homogenization, and applications in artificial materials.
