Class of 2017
Caner Ersoy
He graduated from 75. Yil Cumhuriyet High School in 2010. He worked with Assoc. Prof. Bahar Basim during his senior project. He worked with Tolga and Batu during his senior project in order to manufacture a rotary machine for crushing colemanite. He is currently a undergraduate student in Ozyegin University at the Mechanical Engineering Department and will be graduated in 2017.
Can Necefbaş
He graduated from Robert College in 2010. He worked with Assoc. Prof. Bahar Basim during his senior project. His project name was Cahn-Hiliard Modeling of Nano-Structure Development of Tungsten Oxides and Its Applications in CMP. This senior project’s purpose was to observe polished tungsten wafer’s reaction with H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) and the analysis of nano-structure development of tungsten as a function of time and oxidizer concentration. He will be graduated from Mechanical Engineering Department at Ozyegin University in 2017.
Class of 2016
Bora Günöven
He received his high school degree from Tan Anadolu Lisesi, Bursa, Turkey. He also applied to foreign exchange program and finished his junior year at Portland,OR,U.S.A. .Voleybol is a very big part of his life, he is playing at Ozyegin University Voleybol team and also at an amateur league team. He registered to Özyeğin university at 2010. He started working with Dr. Basım when he was a junior. He was responsible of nano particle synthesis at research group of Dr.Basim. He is looking forward to combine energy and material tracks at University. He received his BSc from the Mechanical Engineering Department at Ozyegin University in 2016.
Tolga Çokuslu
He graduated from Terakki High School in 2012. Then he graduated from the Mechanical Engineering Department in 2016 from Ozyegin University. He worked with Assoc. Prof. Bahar Basim during his senior project. As a group of three; Tolga Cokuslu, Batu Boylu and Caner Ersoy, they made a rotary machine in order to crush colemanite.
Ammar Khalid
An international student from Pakistan who had graduated as a Mechanical Engineer from Ozyegin University in 2016. During his senior year project he had worked with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bahar Basim who had assigned a one of its kind project to him. The project dealt with the manipulation of classic 2D CMP techniques of dental implants to 3D. The process needed to be automated using a Universal Robot as well as a 2kN force sensor integrated to the design in order minimize errors and achieve desirable CMP results. This project was successfully completed using materials engineering, machine design and robotics/control systems techniques and proved to be a unique one since it was the first time ever that dental implants were chemical mechanical polished in 3D.
Class of 2015
Ph.D. Ayşe Karagöz
Ayşe Karagöz received her Ph.D. from the Mechanical Engineering Department at Ozyegin University in 2015. Her research area includes slurry design for chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process (extensively used in semiconductor wafer fabrication) and biomaterial (PCl-b-PEG, PLL-b-PEG copolymers and PCl-PEG-PLL terpolymers) synthesis and characterization as well as material science and design. She received her BS from Chemical Engineering Department at Anadolu University, Turkey in 2007. Then she focused on synthesis and characterization of micelle-forming, biocompatible, biodegradable, and positively charged polymeric biomaterials and their applications in gene therapy and drug delivery systems during her MS at Bioengineering Department at Yildiz Technical University, Turkey, 2009. After her MS, she continued her academic career as a PhD student at Yildiz Technical University and transferred to Ozyegin University at January, 2013. Since March 2010 she has been involved in a Marie Curie International Reintegration Grant project (“Nano-Scale Protective Oxide Films for Semiconductor Applications & Beyond”) under the advisory of Dr. Bahar Basim at Ozyegin University, Turkey. She has also been to University of Florida, Particle Engineering Center between January 2012 and October 2012 as a visiting research scholar. In addition, she has worked as a part time PhD student at Bosch & Siemens Home Appliance Company between October 2011 and January 2013. Currently, she has two patent applications in white goods about hygiene quality of dishwasher and refrigerator and smart oven technologies.
Class of 2014
Taylan Acar
Mr. Taylan Acar received his High School degree from Cağaloğlu Anadolu Lisesi, Istanbul, Turkey. He enrolled Ozyegin University Mechanical Engineering Department in 2010 and started his research efforts with Dr. Basim on nano-technology. He graduated from the department of Mechanical Engineering at the Ozyegin University. He is involved in nano particle synthesis through chemical reactions and also studies the behavior of colloidal systems at interfaces. He is interested in the design of slurries for the Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) process and the surface interactions of biomaterials.
