About Haroldo
Dr. Haroldo Hattori serves as a Senior Lecturer and Laboratories Coordinator in the School of Engineering and Information Technology at UNSW Canberra, University of New South Wales. He earned his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in 1998. Since joining UNSW in 2008, Hattori has focused his research on micro and nano-photonics, semiconductor and fibre lasers, fiber and integrated optics, opto-electronics, and optical communications. His work explores plasmonics, hybrid photonic materials, strong light-matter coupling in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), metasurfaces, photodetectors, and near-field radiative heat transfer. With over 3,000 citations on Google Scholar, his contributions have significantly influenced advancements in optoelectronic devices and photonic nanostructures.
Hattori has an extensive publication record, comprising 141 journal articles, 96 conference papers, 2 book chapters, 1 patent, and 6 preprints. Key book chapters include 'Integrated Plasmonic Nano-Devices' in Nanoplasmonics: Advanced Device Applications (CRC Press, 2013). Highly cited papers feature 'Improved transmission model for metal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguides with stub structure' (Optics Express, 2010, 254 citations), 'Enhanced strong coupling of TMDC monolayers by bound state in the continuum' (Laser & Photonics Reviews, 2021, 160 citations), 'Broadband and compact 2-D photonic crystal reflectors with controllable polarization dependence' (IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, 2006, 134 citations), and 'Strong coupling and catenary field enhancement in the hybrid plasmonic metamaterial cavity and TMDC monolayers' (Opto-Electronic Advances, 2024, 100 citations). Recent publications cover topics such as Rydberg atom-based sensors, perovskite metasurfaces, and high-performance photodetectors. He teaches courses like ZEIT 3218 Communication Techniques, ZINT 3003 Lasers and Opto-electronics, and ZITE 3209 Electromagnetics 2. Hattori holds senior memberships in IEEE and OSA, membership in Engineers Australia, and is a member of Phi Kappa Phi Honour Society and Eta Kappa Nu Electrical Engineering Honour Society. He is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
