BURAK ASLAN

Principal Investigator

Burak is an Assistant Professor at the Physics Department of Bogazici University. Previously, Burak worked as a Senior Optical System Engineer at Terabix, California, USA. Earlier, he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University in the department of Materials Science and Engineering where he utilized strain engineering of 2D materials as active tunable elements for flat optics (2018 Jan - 2019 Jan). Prior to that, he was a Visiting Graduate Researcher (2015 May-2017 May) and later a postdoctoral Researcher (2017 June - 2017 Dec) at Stanford in the department of Applied Physics where he realized that strain can be a means of probing 2D materials for fundamental physics as well as of tuning them for engineering. Burak received his Ph.D. in Physics from Columbia University (2017) and B.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics from Bogazici University (2012). He is interested in the strain engineering of low dimensional nanomaterials including graphene, quantum dots and semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides for physics and optoelectronics.
