Engineering the terahertz frontier.

>_ Metamaterials Researcher▌

I am Mohammadreza Rohaninezhad — researcher in metamaterials, transparent antennas, and THz absorbers, inventor of the world's first liquid-dielectric mutual-coupling reduction method, and Core Network engineer at NAK. From RIS and 6G to full-duplex MIMO, my work lives where electromagnetics meets what comes next.
