Prof. Zeliha Soran Erdem, a graduate of Bilkent University National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) Materials Science and Nanotechnology (MSN) doctoral program under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Hilmi Volkan Demir, was honored as one of four female scientists awarded by L\u2019Or\u00e9al Turkey\u2019s annual \u201cFor Women in Science\u201d program.<\/p>\n<p>Currently continuing her work in the Department of Engineering Sciences at Abdullah G\u00fcl University, Dr. Erdem received the award for her project aimed at developing eco-friendly LCD screen technology. Her research leverages the natural luminescent properties of plants within the field of optics to develop sustainable, environmentally friendly, and health-conscious LED lighting solutions. As an alternative to traditional white-light LED systems widely used in devices like phones, tablets, and computer screens, her project envisions a future where the optical properties of plants are utilized across a broad range of applications, from biomedical uses to street lighting.<\/p>\n<p>This year, through the \u201cFor Women in Science\u201d program, L\u2019Or\u00e9al Turkey provided a total of 200,000 TL in support to four female scientists to help bring their projects to life. Conducted in collaboration with the Turkish National Commission for UNESCO, this program has been supporting talented women in science under the age 40 and helping them gain recognition worldwide for the past 22 years. Since its inception, a total of 124 scientists have been honored with this prestigious award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asst.
