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. […]

This workshop aims to bring together […]
Bilkent University' National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) is hosting “Bilkent UNAM – Quantum Day” as part of a global scientific initiative to honor the 100-year legacy of quantum science. During the event held on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Chair of the Department of Physics at Bilkent University Prof. Ceyhun Bulutay, Assoc. Prof. Serkan Ateş from […]
NanoDay 2025: The Light of Science Shines at UNAM on May 23 Bilkent University UNAM will be hosting and organizing its annual NanoDay on Friday, May 23, 2005. The event brings together leading figures from the international scientific community, as well as researchers, students, and industry professionals from Turkey and around the world. As part […]
Talha Erdem Abdullah Gül University Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions have already been accepted as the straightforward way to limit the environmental effects of the global warming. Toward this aim, significant efforts have been put forward in the field of photonics as well. For example, solar energy became a significant source of energy and light-emitting […]
Ayşe Aslıhan Gökaltun Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School Advancements in biomaterials and biopreservation technologies are critical to overcoming key bottlenecks in clinical care, from wound management to organ transplantation. To highlight the state-of-the-art in these fields and reflect on current challenges and opportunities, this talk will first present our development of stimuli-responsive supramolecular hydrogels […]

Despite significant advances in science and technology, we are still unable to fully overcome […]
Willem L. Vos University of Twente The study of the propagation of light through complex composite materials – e.g., paint, foam, bio-logical tissue - is a topic that has become a field of its own . This may seem surprising: if a material is so opaque that it scrambles images, how can one see through? […]
Alexander Holleitner Technical University of Munich Heterostructures made from two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides exhibit a very large light-matter interaction , and they are ideal platforms to explore excitonic phenomena ranging from correlated moiré excitons to degenerate interlayer exciton ensembles with a spatially extended coherence at cryogenic temperatures . I will highlight the experimental signatures of […]
