Ali Hatef

Dr. Ali Hatef is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Mathematics at Nipissing University, holding a PhD from the University of Western Ontario. His research focuses on computational physics, with emphasis on nanotechnology, nanophotonics, biophotonics, and nanomedicine. He develops theoretical and computational methods to solve problems in these fields, particularly in photothermal effects, plasmonic nanostructures, and phase-change materials.

Education includes a BSc and MSc from Shiraz University, followed by a PhD at the University of Western Ontario. His work explores advanced optical systems such as tunable nano-absorbers, plasmonic gratings, and quantum dot-metal hybrid systems. Recent studies involve VO2@Au nanoshells, GSST-based materials, and applications in medical diagnostics and therapy.

Research interests span computational modeling of photothermal responses, optical switching, and reconfigurable nanophotonic devices. His publications (over 70 listed here) highlight innovations in plasmonic meta-surfaces, biocompatible nanoparticles, and ultrafast laser interactions with nanostructures.
