During the ceremony, Prof.
Yetiţ lauded the success of Prof. Özbay and
his research group and expressed the hope that he would train new
researchers who would receive future Descartes awards. In his own
remarks, Prof. Özbay stated, "During the Descartes Award Ceremony at the
Royal
Society of London, the organizers prepared a special map on which Turkey
was shown as a part of the European Union. This is concrete proof that
Turkey has now become part of the European Union in the area of science
and technology. I will continue to do my best to bring further
recognition to Turkish science."
Prof. Özbay and his fellow
team members won their 2005 Descartes Science Award for creating and
developing a new class of artificial metamaterials that are able to
overturn various familiar properties of light.
