professor of nanotechnology,
Bilkent University / NTU,
Speaker's Bio:
Dr. Hilmi Volkan Demir is EURYI Associate Professor at Bilkent University and UNAM National Nanotechnology Research Center, Turkey, where he heads the Devices and Sensors research group. He holds joint appointments with the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Physics. Concurrently, he is an NRF Fellow of Singapore and a Nanyang Associate Professor, and serves as the Director of Luminous! Center of Excellence for Semiconductor Lighting and Displays. Demir earned his MS (2000) and PhD (2004) degrees from Stanford University, CA, and his BS (1998) degree from Bilkent Univ. His current research interests include the science and technology of excitonics for high-efficiency light generation and harvesting, and wireless metamaterial-inspired bioimplant sensing for future healthcare. Demir Group research work led to >15 patent applications, several of which have currently been used, owned or licensed by industry, and to several important international and national awards including European Science Foundation European Young Investigator award, EU Photonics21 innovation award, and TUBITAK Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey TESVIK award. Demir has given over 100 invited presentations in the last 5 years on the topics of nanophotonics, solid state lighting, and nanoparticles research in industry and academia.
