Plenary Speaker / Conférencier plénier

Waves in complex media are often strongly scattered due to mesoscopic heterogeneities, leading to unusual phenomena which continue to fascinate us and enrich our basic understanding of the wave physics of condensed matter. Examples range from strikingly large variations in wave speeds to unusual refraction and tunneling effects, and even to the complete inhibition of wave propagation, due to...
