While current progress of the research in metamaterials technology has produced many solutions for devices in imaging, sensing and analysis, at industrial level the most promising routes remain largely aligned to CMOS compatible manufacturing approaches. ST is the first world leading company manufacturing metasurfaces for consumer products, using a silicon-based platform, for time-of-flight sensors in the near infrared region.With this project we aim to explore viable material and processing platforms to extend the capabilities of the metasurface technology at industrial scales to wider spectral ranges, both towards shorter and longer wavelengths and including tunability. The student will have access to state-of-the-art fabrication and characterization facilities at the University of St Andrews to develop the new generation of artificial materials for advanced photonic applications. This will enable the creation of novel devices, specifically aimed at augmented reality for position and motion sensing. The partnership with ST offers the unique opportunity to align the research to industrial relevant processes and requirements.

尽管超材料技术研究的当前进展为成像，传感和分析的设备提供了许多解决方案，但在工业层面，最有希望的路线仍与CMOS兼容的制造方法基本一致。 ST是使用基于硅的平台，用于近红外区域的飞行时间传感器的第一家世界领先的公司制造元面积。我们旨在探索该项目，以探索可行的材料和处理平台，以扩展MetaSurface技术在工业尺度上扩展到更宽的光谱范围以及更长的波动范围，并将其范围包括在内。该学生将可以在圣安德鲁斯大学获得最先进的制造和表征设施，以开发用于高级光子应用的新一代人造材料。这将使创建新颖的设备，专门旨在增强现实的位置和运动感应。与St的合作伙伴关系为研究提供了独特的机会，可以使研究与工业相关的流程和需求保持一致。
