About Me
I am a materials physicist at Necmettin Erbakan University, specializing in thin-film materials, semiconductor physics, and device-oriented functional coatings. My research covers the fabrication and characterization of transparent conductive oxides, metal oxides, nitrides, chalcogenides, and graphene-based films for optoelectronic and energy-related applications. I lead the Thin Film Research Group within the LAMPs Laboratory, where we develop functional thin-film materials using advanced deposition technologies — PVD, CVD, and ALD — supported by comprehensive materials characterization. Alongside research, I teach undergraduate and graduate courses, supervise graduate students, lead research projects, and collaborate with academic and industrial partners.
Research Profile
My research combines materials physics and device engineering to advance functional thin-film technologies. I focus on the deposition and characterization of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), metal-oxide and metal-nitride thin films, chalcogenide layers, and CVD-grown graphene. By investigating structure–property relationships in these material systems, I aim to develop high-performance coatings and functional layers for optoelectronic devices. My work bridges fundamental materials science and practical device applications, with an emphasis on process control, layer optimization, and interdisciplinary collaboration. My current research areas are detailed in the Research section below.
Teaching and Supervision
I am actively involved in undergraduate and graduate education through teaching, research supervision, and academic mentoring. As a member of the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences — Nanoscience and Nanoengineering Board — I teach M.Sc. and Ph.D. level courses and supervise graduate students. I also teach General Physics in the Faculty of Engineering, and Solid State Physics and Electronics in the Department of Physics.
