Dr. Mark C. Harrison
Assistant Professor, Fowler School of Engineering
Dr. Harrison earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California. After completing his education, he worked in industry in diverse roles before joining the faculty at Chapman.
Graduate Students
Marjan Bazian
Marjan Bazian is a fourth-year PhD student in Computational and Data Science with a Master’s degree in Photonics. She has extensive experience in simulating photonic devices, both linear and nonlinear, using plasmonic and photonic crystal materials with multiphysics software. Her research includes the design and optimization of advanced nanophotonic structures.
Currently, Marjan is focused on analyzing optical data using data science computations. Her work bridges the gap between photonics and data science, aiming to develop innovative solutions in the field of optical computing and information processing.
Anjali Chandra
Anjali Chandra is a first-year M.S. student in Electrical Engineering. She is from the SF Bay Area and is currently interning at Northrop Grumman. Anjali competes on Chapman’s Track and Field team, and enjoys traveling, camping with her family, and spending time with friends at the beach.
Aidan Millsap
Aidan Millsap earned his degree from Chapman as a Computer Engineering Major and Buisness Minor. He is currently in the graduate EECS program. He is from San Diego and also competes on the Chapman Track and Field team. Aidan is a very hands on person and loves to build and learn how things work. He likes to cook, play spikeball, go to the beach, and go camping with friends.
Max Randall
I am pursuing an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Chapman University. Through working with Dr. Harrison on his photonics projects, I hope to better understand what exactly light is and how it behaves. I spend my free time taking photos through my telescope, coding, lifting weights, and playing video games.
