I am so grateful and honored to receive this prestigious award, Young Scientists Award (GEBiP) from The Turkish Academy of Sciences (TÜBA). (December, 2023)
Exciting news 
Our project “MOF compounds as carriers for tetrahydroisoquinoline based inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase: improved solution for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease” was supported by the TÜBİTAK-NITRA Scientific & Technological Cooperation. Fundings are available! Interested candidates may send their CVs and the contact information of two references to me, ilknur.erucar@ozyegin.edu.tr.
Exciting news
I am so happy to work with great scientists in our COST action, European metal-organic framework network: combining research and development to promote technological solutions (COST Action – CA22147).
Model LAB is growing with these great students
Welcome to the team,
Omid, Nasim, Hakan, Eyüp and Parivash!
MODEL LAB is hiring😊
We are looking for two enthusiastic PhD and two MSc students and to work in my TÜBİTAK 1001 Project entitled: “Computational Investigation of Performance of Amorphous MOF-Filled Mixed Matrix Membranes for Natural Gas Purification (AMOF_MEM).” With this project, the CO2 sequestration and CO2/CH4 separation performances of amorphous MOF/polymer composites will be examined using advanced simulation techniques.
Fluent English is a must and experience in programming languages (R, Python, or any other object-oriented programming skills) is preferred. Interested candidates may send their CVs and the contact information of two references to me, ilknur.erucar@ozyegin.edu.tr.
