Mark C. Harrison

Mark C. Harrison is an Assistant Professor at the Fowler School of Engineering, Chapman University. He holds a B.S. (2010), M.S. (2012), and Ph.D. (2015) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California. His career spans academic research and industry roles as a Research Scientist and Hardware Engineer (2015–2019).

• Research Focus: Integrated photonics, plasmonics, and epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials for communications and sensing.
• Techniques: Device design using inverse design, nonlinear photonic systems, and optical signal processing.

Recent publications highlight three-wave mixing in ITO thin films, topology-based optimization of plasmonic couplers, and low-power nonlinear devices. His work emphasizes compact, phase-matched-free photonic systems.
