LMU Munich
06.2026 – 09.2026A summer research internship in Dr. Erkan Aydın's group, on interconnecting and encapsulating perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells for use in space. My part was mostly sputtering and characterization.

01 — About
I'm a fourth-year physics student at METU, also doing a minor in Mechatronics. Most of my research so far has been experimental: semiconductor devices, thin films and the cleanroom work around them.
Next, I plan to do a master's degree in semiconductor devices, micro/nanotechnology or materials science.
02 — Research
METU MEMS Center
02.2025 – 05.2026I have worked in a quantum-dot photodiode project supervised by Dr. Demet Asil Alptekin. I started by testing devices as an intern and later moved on to cleanroom process steps.
Betavoltaic simulation
12.2025 – nowA TÜBİTAK-funded undergraduate group project with Prof. Ahmet Bingül: a Geant4 model of how beta particles deposit energy in a semiconductor junction.
Globular clusters
05.2024 – 02.2025With Dr. M. Atakan Gürkan, I read about simulation methods for star clusters, and wrote a small N-body code to analyze the force distributions among stars in a globular cluster.
