Scientific expertise I am an Assistant Professor at Çukurova University, specializing in radiation physics, luminescent materials, and porous oxide-based dosimetric materials. My research focuses on the synthesis, structural characterization, and application of oxide and semiconductor-based materials, particularly for radiation detection, energy storage, and environmental monitoring. I have extensive experience in developing optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) materials and studying their defect structures to enhance luminescence properties. My expertise in material characterization techniques such as XRD, SEM, FTIR, and spectroscopic methods enables me to contribute to the advancement of porous semiconductors and oxides for various applications. Additionally, I have been involved in international collaborations, including NATO-funded projects, focusing on innovative material applications for radiation safety. Given my background, I believe I can contribute significantly to the NETPORE COST Action, particularly in the areas of porous material development for health and environmental applications.
