| I am the Principal Investigator of the Demir Research
Group and Founding Director of the Devices and Sensors Research Lab at
Bilkent University. I am working at Electrical and Electronics
Engineering Department, Physics Department, Materials Science
and Nanotechnology Program, UNAM - National Nanotechnology Research Center,
and Advanced Research Laboratory, where my research group and
labs are located. |

| Devices and Sensors Research Group at Bilkent: |
|
In my group, our research focus is to propose, develop, and demonstrate innovative
chip-scale nanophotonic, opto-electronic, and RF devices and sensors embedded
with nano- and micro-scale functional structures in hybrid architectures for the applications of
semiconductor lighting, displays, imaging, communications, sensing, alternative energy
generation, and environmental decontamination. Our research work spans device
conception, modeling, material synthesis and characterization, device
fabrication and testing, and system-level applications.
