Haihua Tao received the Ph.D. degree in optical physics from Institute of Physics (IOP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2007, focusing on near-field optics of silicon-based photonic crystal waveguides. From 2007 to 2009, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Catalan Institute of Nanosciences and Nanotechnology (ICN2), Spain, where she stepped into the field of graphene modification and transport property study. In November 2009, she joined in Shanghai Jiaotong University. In these past years, she has developed the UV ozonation technique and its application in graphene optoelectronics. Now she is exploring new physical/chemical phenomena and the underlying working mechanism in the fields of graphene-based photodetectors and nanophotonics.
