Cody Scarborough

Cody Scarborough is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. He earned his B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin (2017) and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan (2022). His research focuses on space-time modulated electromagnetic metamaterials, non-linear electromagnetics, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces. He leads the Electromagnetic Metamaterials Research Group (EMRG), advancing next-generation communication systems and energy-harvesting technologies.

Scarborough has pioneered novel boundary conditions like the interpath relation, reducing computational demands for analyzing space-time periodic structures. His work has earned best student paper awards at EuCAP 2021 and Metamaterials 2021. He teaches courses such as Electromagnetic Fields I and Electromagnetic Metamaterials, mentoring over 100 students. His research group explores parametric amplification, frequency conversion, and bandwidth enhancement through active metamaterial control.

• Education: B.S. UT Austin (2017), Ph.D. University of Michigan (2022)
• Labs/Teams: Electromagnetic Metamaterials Research Group (EMRG)
• Key Contributions: Space-time modulated antennas, N-path network analysis, interpath relation theory

He holds provisional patents on parametric time-modulated antennas and efficient computational methods for metamaterial design. Beyond academia, he enjoys music, hiking, and skiing in Boulder's Flatirons.
