Steven Anlage

Steven Anlage is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Maryland, College Park, and a member of the Quantum Materials Center (QMC). His research focuses on experimental studies of superconductivity, quantum chaos, metamaterials, and high-resolution microwave microscopy. He leads the Anlage Research Group, which explores topics like superconducting metamaterials, nonlinear dynamics in GHz circuits, and the electrodynamics of nanostructured materials like carbon nanotubes and graphene. His work includes developing applications for time-reversed wave propagation and wireless power transfer. Anlage holds the UMD Distinguished Scholar-Teacher award and has advised PhD students including Chung-Yang Wang and Jingnan Cai.

His affiliations include the MRSEC (Materials Research Science and Engineering Center), MURI projects, and initiatives like Chaos@UMD and the Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics (IREAP). Recent research highlights include the experimental realization of photonic topological insulator graphs, studies of UTe2 superconductivity, and investigations into exceptional points in non-Hermitian systems. He collaborates with institutions such as UCLA and CNAM/UMD on nanophysics projects.

Anlage's experimental facilities support advanced microscopy and scattering studies, with grants funding work on complex wave systems and metamaterials. His lab's innovations include a world-record superconducting single-photon camera and contributions to understanding electromagnetic field imaging in chaotic systems.
