Chief Senior Researcher, PhD
TUBITAK Marmara Research Center
GEBZE, Türkiye
I am a researcher at TÜBİTAK Marmara Research Center (TUBITAK MRC), focusing on functional materials, including biobased polymers, hydrogels and coatings, for applications in resource efficiency and environmental protection.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and master’s and Ph.D. degrees in Polymer Science and Technology. My research focuses on the synthesis of functional polymeric materials and their technological applications. I have been working at TÜBİTAK Marmara Research Center (TUBITAK MRC) for the past eight years, where I currently hold the position of Chief Senior Researcher.
My main research areas include flame-retardant and mechanically durable materials, functional materials for medical applications, surface functionalisation for sensor technologies, and membrane- and gel-based systems.
In recent years, my work has increasingly focused on biomass-derived functional materials, including biobased polymers, hydrogels and coatings. Applications under investigation include controlled nutrient release in agriculture, adsorption and separation, and alternatives to conventional polymeric materials. Within the NATURE call scope, I am interested in contributing material development and characterisation expertise to interdisciplinary projects addressing pollution reduction, resource efficiency and environmental protection.
