I have received my Ph.D. from Applied Chemistry and Biochemistry Department, Kumamoto University, Japan in 2004.    I worked as postdoctoral associate at the same department between 2004 and 2007. Then, I joined to Koc University Chemistry Department in 2008. I received Japanese Government (Monbusho) Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology scholarship and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) postdoctoral fellowship awards. My current research interests are 1) Synthesis and applications of nanosheets of 2D layered materials, 2) photocatalytic energy conversion 3) Energy Storage 4) electrochemical synthesis of thin films 5) synthesis of advanced ceramics for optical applications.

I am currently the associate director of Koc University Surface Science and Technology Center (KUYTAM). I am also coordinating Materials Science and Engineering and Chemistry graduate programs at Koc University.
