SUMMARY:Diversity in Science. Excellence in Research.
DESCRIPTION:Dear Members of the Bilkent University Community\, \nBilkent University National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) is pleased to host a special panel discussion titled “Diversity in Science. Excellence in Research.” in celebration of International Women’s Day. \nBringing together four members of the UNAM community\, including two faculty members\, a team leader engineer\, and a doctoral researcher\, the panel will highlight the voices of women advancing science at UNAM. The speakers will share their professional motivations\, reflect on structural barriers encountered throughout their research journeys\, speak about milestones they take pride in\, and discuss their vision for fostering a more inclusive and forward-looking research ecosystem. \nThe program will open with a brief overview of the latest data on women’s representation in R&D\, academia\, and patent applications in Türkiye to provide context for the broader conversation. \nWe would be delighted to welcome you as we come together to celebrate International Women’s Day and the contributions of women in science. \nSpeakers: Dr. Ayça Arslan\, Dr. Sezin Galioğlu Özaltuğ\, Esra Arman\, Dilşad Taydaş \nDate: March 6\, 2026 (Friday) | 12:00–13:00 \nVenue: UNAM Conference Hall \nLanguage: Turkish \nKind regards\, \nBilkent UNAM

SUMMARY:From sound fields to functions through the design of acoustic operators for microscale particle control
DESCRIPTION:Carlos A. Dorao\nNorwegian University of Science and Technology \n\nManipulating micro- and nanoscale particles is fundamentally challenging because\, at small scales\, conventional forces behave very differently. Particles are dominated by viscous drag\, Brownian motion\, and surface forces\, making them difficult to control precisely without physical contact or chemical labeling. Traditional mechanical or optical methods can be invasive\, complex\, or difficult to scale\, especially when dealing with delicate biological samples or large numbers of particles. This is where acoustic manipulation offers a compelling alternative. Sound waves can generate contactless\, gentle\, and tunable forces inside fluids\, enabling us to design acoustic operators that perform tasks such as patterning\, concentration\, mixing\, and lysis. By structuring the acoustic field in space and time\, we can create programmable operations that act on particles across a wide range of sizes. \n \n  \nAbout Speaker\nProfessor Carlos A. Dorao is a professor at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He holds an engineering degree in Nuclear Engineering from the Balseiro Institute (Argentina) and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from NTNU. His research focuses on the development of acoustic operators for the manipulation of micro- and nanoscale particles using sound waves as well as on fundamental thermohydraulics with an emphasis on identifying dominant heat transfer mechanisms in two-phase flow systems and understanding how flow oscillations influence these mechanisms. \n

SUMMARY:Highly Crystalline Organic Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conductors for Microfiber-Based Bioelectronic Interfaces and Energy Storage Devices
DESCRIPTION:Myung-Han Yoon\nGwangju Institute of Science and Technology \n\nIn this research\, we report highly crystalline organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) designed to overcome the inherent trade-off between electrical/electrochemical performance and long-term aqueous stability. First\, by introducing a sulfuric acid treatment\, we successfully crystallized poly(3\,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) films. These films exhibit excellent electrical\, electrochemical\, and optical properties\, alongside robust long-term stability and high biocompatibility for primary cultured cardiomyocytes and neurons over several weeks. Consequently\, they were successfully employed in high-performance multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) to record and stimulate the electrophysiological activities of primary cardiomyocytes and chicken retinal tissues. Furthermore\, we developed the fabrication of crystalline PEDOT:PSS microfibers and a unique self-fusion process to create single-strand wearable electrochemical transistors and 3D microfibrillar network-based bioelectronic interfaces. Finally\, we demonstrated fiber-type energy storage devices by implementing carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn/PEDOT:PSS core-shell fibers. \n \n  \n1. Kim\, S.-M.\, et al.

He subsequently received his Ph.D. in Inorganic/Materials Chemistry from Northwestern University (2006) under the supervision of Profs. Tobin J. Marks and Antonio Facchetti\, focusing on high-performance organic semiconductor/dielectric thin-film transistors. Following his doctoral studies\, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University with Prof. Hongkun Park\, where he specialized in the development of neuronal electronic and microfluidic interface arrays. In 2010\, Dr. Yoon joined the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST)\, where he currently serves as a Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. His professional leadership roles include serving as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Materials Chemistry B (Royal Society of Chemistry\, UK) and an advisory professor for LG Electronics. With over 15\,000 citations and an h-index of 51\, his prolific research has earned prestigious recognitions\, including Commendations from the Prime Minister (2024) and the Minister of Science and ICT (2019) of the Republic of Korea. He is also a three-time recipient of the GIST Excellent Research Award (2016\, 2022\, 2025) and has been honored by the Polymer Society of Korea and the Korean Chemical Society. His current research interests are at the forefront of functional and sustainable materials\, encompassing organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs)\, metal oxides\, and fibrillar hydrogels. These materials are applied toward bioelectronic interfaces\, neuromorphic electronics\, renewable energy (hydrogen generation)\, and advanced environmental purification. \n
