Wavetech is currently active in the following research areas:

• Nonlinear metamaterials
• Ultrafast pulse measurement
• Dynamic terahertz metamaterials
• Terahertz surfaces waves

Principal Wavetech employees are all actively involved in research and development. Our researchers either hold a graduate degree in engineering or are currently pursuing engineering graduate studies. We also collaborate with numerous very well-respected scientists and professors, nationwide. Wavetech is owned and operated by John O'Hara, Ph.D., who also serves as a faculty member at Oklahoma State University.
