Workshop - Menasina, Cargèse, France
 
Amongst numerous communities and fields of research related to wave physics, scientists share the same goal of exploring and understanding what surrounds them, from the very small scale of the atom to the infinite one of the universe. Throughout these disciplines, although different types of waves, spatial scales or propagation media require specific instruments and methods, some key concepts are clearly of common interests. For instance, the physics of wave propagation in complex, scattering and structured media is at the heart of various research fields such as metamaterials and crystals, Anderson localization in fundamental physics, or bio-imaging in applied physics. Similarly, arrays of sensors are being more and more used in domains ranging from ultrasound imaging or optics, to those of seismology or radio-astronomy. Furthermore, all these research fields are clearly working towards very similar goals related to the control of wave propagation, through the concept of time reversal or wave-front shaping, or to their signal processing counterparts, namely, the notions of cross-correlation imaging or compressive sensing.
The aim of this summer school is to create bridges between these various areas of research by gathering their most inspiring scientists in the beautiful village of Cargèse in Corsica, France. This will permit them to share and confront the concepts developed in their own fields of research with others, which will hopefully lead to many fruitful discussions and collaborations. A specific effort will be made to target the younger audience. It will allow PhD students and young scientist to acquire a solid and broad knowledge of wave physics from the best experts worldwide.
