Mainly reponsible for optical desing of Flat Panel Displays and Back Light units of Liquid Crystal Displays.Experienced with-Designing mass-producible Back Light Unit solutions for liqiuid crystal display,-Analysing optical performance of display systems and detection of root cause of failures in designed system,-Designing electrical,mechanical and optical structure of LED bar for back light unit considering thermal, optical and cost needs,-Creating optical simulation environment for optical system using Lighttools,-Creating optical specs and measurement standards,-Benchmarking studies to follow-up the market,-Approving designed optical system for mass production,-Build up and maintain contacts with optical component suppliers from all over the world,-Training collegues and other groups in VESTEL,-Applying and leading government grant projects.

My primary responsibility were as follows:▪ Following-up preparation, applying, appraisal and realization processes for government grant projects like TUBITAK, Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology.▪ Meeting with project jury and coordinating different R&D and mass production groups which are involving the project.

I worked as an experimental research assistant at Izmir Institute of Technology Department of Physics Nanotechnology Laboratory.During my study, I investigated toxic gas sensibility and selectivity properties of some special structured organic molecules named as Calixarene (cyclic oligomers). I designed a experimental setup to measure carbon monoxide and other toxic gases in ppm to ppb level. The study focused on the characterization and optimization of Calixarene modified carbon nanotube thin films for gas detection. Calixarene molecules were synthesized individually by considering their functional groups to attract the gas. The project supported by TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) project named as 109T240 - Developing carbon monoxide (CO) sensors based on Carbon Nanotubes modified with various Calixarene molecules. Also the project led other projects like designing of electronics noise with organic sensors. Research studies applied to some national and international conferences and some of them published or applied to international articles.I also gained experience in growing thin film on substrate using thermal evaporation and spin coating methods, fabrication of interdigitated electrode (IDE) arrays by photolithography technique and investigating growed thin films under Scanned Electron Microscope.
