Helin Özel
She (EE) received her undergraduate and Master of Science degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Özyeğin University. She is now a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz with her research in quantum computing and processors. She has always been curious to explore and understand the universe because just what we saw was not enough. As a result, she found myself becoming a scientist. She has seen theoretical objects which are common in different fields. Also, an important step in her journey was to learn algorithmic thinking which came with an object-oriented programming training.
I have always tried to understand physical correspondences of theoretical objects and wondered about transitions from theoretical formulations to experimental implementations. She had the opportunity to research in the field of underwater optical wireless communications and quantum key distribution. She had a chance to publish articles, join collaborations and patent her works.
Birgül Cansu Acartürk
Dr. Birgül Cansu Acartürk (CE) completed her undergraduate degree in civil engineering in 2017, finishing as the second in her department. Throughout her university years, she served as both a research and teaching assistant, honing her academic skills. Her undergraduate studies, particularly focusing on sustainable and innovative building material systems, influenced her decision to pursue doctoral education in these areas. She successfully completed her doctoral studies at The Ohio State University in 2022 with a thesis titled "Novel and Sustainable Cementitious Systems: Improving Calcium Sulfoaluminate Cement and Bacterial Concrete Properties."
During her doctoral period, Dr. Acartürk published numerous academic articles on sustainable cement-based systems and bacterial concrete. She also presented her research at national and international conferences. Currently, Dr. Acartürk continues her career as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder, where her research is concentrated on bio-based cementitious systems. Her work aims to develop innovative approaches to reduce carbon dioxide emissions during cement production and usage.
Ozan Tarlan
Ozan Tarlan (CS), completed his first internship in database management at AXA Sigorta. In his second internship, he worked on robotic process automation at Datassist. After completing his undergraduate education, he started his master's degree on Network security in 2020. During his master's degree, his advisor was Dr. Kübra Kalkan and Dr. from Fibabanka R&D Center. Together with Ilgın Şafak, he conducted research on improving IoT device security with DLT in the TÜBİTAK project. Currently, Ozan is a PhD student at Özyeğin University and he is working on a TÜBİTAK project on Blockchain and Software Testing with his advisors Dr. Kübra Kalkan, Dr. Ilgın Şafak and Dr. Hasan Sözer.
