Simons Collaboration on Extreme Wave Phenomena Based on Symmetries Annual Meeting 2026

The meeting is held at Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium in New York, NY.

The organizer identifies scientists and mathematicians among the intended audience.

It is most useful for physicists, mathematicians and engineers working on wave-based and photonic computing, since the talks and posters span classical and quantum platforms and the speakers include Andrea Alù, Nader Engheta and Shanhui Fan. It is a progress review of a sixth-year collaboration with a satellite workshop at CUNY, so researchers in unrelated subfields or industry readers wanting product content would get less than specialists in symmetry-driven wave physics.

Academic physics and mathematics meetings usually call for casual dress, such as jeans or slacks with a sweater or casual shirt. New York in late October is cool, so a jacket is practical.
