ABOUT ME

I hold a Ph.D. degree in Polymer Science. My research (at the University of Calgary, Canada and METU, Turkey) was mainly based on the synthesis and mechanical and viscoelastical characterisation of novel block copolymers. I also carried out research on kinetics of polymerisation reactions and also on block copolymer formation using special cations. Lately I  moved into the realm of biomaterials and special polymers. I published several papers on these (and some other topics), a list of which can be found elsewhere.

I also hold Management Certificates (IMDI-University of Pittsburgh, USA).

I have previously taught at the University of Calgary, EMU and NEU, and directed research at METU and NEU.

I am not involved in any research project any more. I teach physical chemitry at METU NCC when the need arises.

My hobbies

include software and web-site development, cooking, surfing on the Internet and still photography (digital and traditional, order changed about a decade ago).
