SPACE Colloquim: Sante Carloni - "Analogue Transformations in Physics and their Application to Acoustics"

Thursday 29 Jan 2026, 14:30 → 15:30 Europe/Rome

Scuola Superiore Meridionale - Aula 2, Primo Piano

Starting with the concept of transformation design for electromagnetic metamaterials, I will introduce Analogue Transformations, grounded in the principles of analogue gravity, and demonstrate how these transformations enable the construction of Analogue Transformation Acoustics. I will demonstrate that this formalism enables the design of acoustic devices that are unattainable through conventional methods and will present specific examples of such devices. Finally, I will argue that Analogue Transformations can be extended to additional domains, with potential applications in controlling quantum fluids and graphene electronics.
