Your guide
Hello! I’m Dynamo, I’m a clicker remote with a laser pointer that represents the academic and the tecnological dimensions of the project. I’ll be guiding you through the website and introducing our amazing Horizon Europe funded project:
Dynamo: Dynamic Spatio-Temporal Modulation of Light by Phononic Architectures
What Dynamo
is about
Acoustics
Photonics
Imaging technology
The project was framed within the call HORIZON-EIC-2021-PATHFINDEROPEN and is coordinated by Universitat Jaume I, Spain. It kicked off on March 1, 2022 and it will end on February 28, 2026.
Dynamo deals with the fundamentals of physical acoustics to develop complex imaging applications and englobes the theoretical design, scalable fabrication and photoacoustic characterization of micro-structures surfaces for their final implementation as SLMs for imaging technology. This complex pathway requires a multidisciplinary consortium made of theoreticians and experimentalists from the domains of acoustics and photonics.
The final objective
The final objective of the project is to establish a disruptive technology where the spatial modulation of optical beams reach both the spatial and temporal limits, what constitutes a true breakthrough in current technologies where only the spatial limit has been reached.
Following a successful edition of the Dynamo Summer School, we are pleased to see the event featured in the digital newspaper @castellonplaza_.

Last Friday marked the final in-person Annual Meeting of Dynamo 🙌
Four years of collaboration, scientific progress, and shared challenges have brought us to this point.
Thank you to all partners. One final push towards the completion of the project!
