About

Dr Ma Guancong studies classical wave physics. His research focuses on acoustic waves and elastic waves. Topics of interest include acoustic metamaterials, elastic metamaterials, phononic crystals, wavefield shaping and non-Hermitian wave systems. He has published more than 20 papers in peer-reviewed journals, including in esteemed journals such as Nature Materials, Nature Physics, Nature Communications, Physical Review X and Physical Review Letters. He has also published a review article on acoustic metamaterials in Science Advances, and a review article on topological acoustics and mechanics in Nature Reviews Physics. Dr. Ma is awarded the NSFC Excellent Young Scientists (Hong Kong and Macau) in 2019.
