I am currently working as a postdoctoral scholar in Applied Physics at Caltech. I am a member of Prof. Harry A. Atwater's group and pursuing cutting edge research on a broad range of topics spanning photovoltaics, plasmonics and metamaterials.

I received my B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from the Department of Physics in Bilkent University, Turkey in 2002, 2004, and 2008 respectively. During my Ph.D thesis, I focused on design and characterization  metamaterials at microwave frequencies under the supervision of Prof. Ekmel Ozbay. Subwavelength resolution, negative refractive index in photonic crystals and hybrid light emitting devices based on organic polymers are among the other research topics I studied as a graduate student.

I am a member of the professional societies of OSA, APS, IEEE, and SPIE. I am one of the recipients of 2007 SPIE Educational Scholarship.
