Erez Hasman
Head of Micro and Nanooptics Laboratory, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute,
Technion - Israel Inst. of Technology, Haifa 32000, Israel.
Erez Hasman received the B.Sc. degree (in physics) in 1981 from the Tel Aviv University, the M.Sc. degree in 1985 from the Technion, Haifa, and the Ph.D. in 1992 from Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel. From 1981 to 1986, he was a senior scientist in Rafael company. From 1992 to 1998, he was in the optics industry as the chief physicist of graphic and recognition products line, in Optrotech company, and later as the technology analysis manager and head of physics group in Elop company in Israel. Presently, he is a Professor of optical sciences and head of Micro and Nanooptics Laboratory, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel. Prof. Erez Hasman has a wide experience in physical optics and specifically in nanoscale – optics. His group has made significant contributions in the field of nano-photonics and radiative heat transfer from nanostructures, and specifically for developing a new branch in optics – spinoptics: The symmetry breaking in nanostructures due to spin-orbit interaction, potentially opens a new avenue for controlling light in nanometer-scale optical devices. His nanooptics laboratory is involved in research of nanoscale structures, surface plasmon polaritons, near-field manipulation, and thermal radiation from nanoscale-structures.
