Benjamin Vial
Hello, I'm Ben
I am a Research Associate at Imperial College London, working in the Department of Mathematics.
About me
My research is mainly focused on wave physics including metamaterials, scattering, diffraction, modal analysis, numerical methods, topology optimization, resonant phenomena, Transformation Optics and homogenization techniques, for applications in Photonics and Mechanics.
