With the vision of Bilkent University National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) to create high quality and novel knowledge and train qualified human resources, Dr. Urartu Şeker provided the opportunity for high school students to delve into the realms of genetic engineering and synthetic biology at the Genetic Engineering School, for the sixth time. A group […]
Thermal Drawing Of Low-Dimensional Material-Integrated Triboelectric Fibers For Healthcare Applications MSc Thesis Defense Md Sazid Bin Sadeque Advisor - Mustafa Ordu Abstract: The potential of flexible wearable devices and sensors to revolutionize healthcare lies in their ability to facilitate real-time monitoring. However, many of these wearable sensors are extensive energy consumers, and the requirement of […]
Volkan Filiz Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon Polymeric Membranes - in gas- and liquid-phase separations The main research focus at the Institute of Membrane Research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon is the development of membranes for liquid and gas phase separation. Water shortages, climate change and energy transition: separation of substances plays a vital role in these challenges. […]
Víctor de Lorenzo The Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) Design meets evolution: Theory and practice The prevailing view of biological evolution is not unlike bricolage/pastiche/tinkering—in sharp contrast with rational engineering. Yet, different paths often lead to solutions that coincide or converge whether they emerge from naturally-occurring evolution or rationally designed. Such a conjunction—often presented as […]
Bilkent UNAM Presents: Advanced Cancer Biotherapeutics Symposium (ACTS '24) — Pioneering Innovations in Cancer Treatment Bilkent University UNAM (National Nanotechnology Research Center) is delighted to announce the Advanced Cancer Biotherapeutics Symposium (ACTS '24) scheduled to take place on October 4-5, 2024. This symposium will bring together clinicians, academics, graduate students and industry partners to explore […]
Stefan Bittner University of Lorraine Nonlinear dynamics and chaos in multimode semiconductor lasers Nonlinear dynamics and deterministic chaos are ubiquitous in nature and appear in a large variety of physical, chemical and biological systems. Due to their strong nonlinearities, lasers exhibit a very wide range of different dynamics and are ideal testbeds for studying chaotic […]
Tuncay Alan Monash University Acoustofluidics for ultrafast mixing and personalised drug delivery At the Dynamic Micro Devices Laboratory, we study the interaction between nonlinear micro/nanoscale resonators and fluid media, developing acoustically actuated microsystems. This seminar will present recent advances in these technologies, with applications in chemical synthesis, drug delivery, and liquid atomization, and their potential […]
Akira Miura Hokkaido University Exploring new chloride materials: synthesis, transport, and mechanical properties Chlorides, such as NaCl, had been considered simple ionic compounds. However, in recent years, chlorides with diverse structures have been actively studied as functional materials such as semiconductors and ionic conductors. In this presentation, I exhibit our recent progress on the synthesis […]
Gregory Schehr Sorbonne University Stochastic processes under resetting have garnered increasing attention in recent years. One of the simplest examples involves a diffusive particle whose position is randomly reset to a fixed point, such as its initial position, at a constant rate r. Even this basic system reveals fascinating phenomena: (i) the system reaches a […]
Allard P. Mosk Utrecht University Random scattering of light, which takes place in paper, paint and biological tissue is an obstacle to imaging and focusing of light and thus hampers many applications. At the same time scattering is a phenomenon of basic physical interest and its relation to the information content of light is subtle […]
Dear Members of the Bilkent Community, As part of our International Women’s Day celebrations, UNAM is pleased to host a special panel discussion titled "Inspiring Women in Science: Career Journeys, Experiences, and Achievements." Four distinguished female scientists who have made significant contributions to their fields will share their career journeys, scientific research, and valuable experiences. […]
