EE Grad Student Wins Prestigious Fellowship
Oğuz Hanoğlu, a second year master's student in electrical engineering, has been awarded the coveted Electron Devices Society Master's Fellowship for 2010. The fellowship is awarded annually by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), an international non-profit, professional organization for the advancement of technology related to electricity. The Fellowship Program was established to promote, recognize, and support master's level study and research within the Electron Devices Society's field of interest.
In 2010, Oğuz Hanoğlu was one of only three researchers in the world to be awarded the fellowship.
Oğuz Hanoğlu received his B.Sc degree in electrical engineering from Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey in 2009. He is currently a researcher working at Bilkent's Institute of Materials Science and Nanotechnology (UNAM) as a member of Okyay Research Team. His main research topic is low-cost, portable, and highly sensitive nano-biosensors for label-free protein detection. These kind of biosensors are promising for timely and effective diagnostics of various cancer diseases. Oğuz is also interested in fabrication and characterization of high temperature coefficient of resistance structures. These structures have critical applications in the field of uncooled bolometer-based thermal imaging systems. In his research, Oğuz uses the UNAM Cleanroon Facility intensively. Lithography, E-beam evaporation, Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), and Wet Etching are some of the fabrication techniques he uses in the UNAM cleanroom.
Oğuz is also the goalkeeper of UNAM Cleanroom Facility football team.
