Analyzing the Court Decisions on Intellectual Property Subjects in Turkey and updating the Darts-IP Database

Trace metal analysis with LA - ICP MS/MS technique for various type of samples and method development. Organizing all analysis activities. Only responsible of the related laboratory. Directing interdisicplinary projects for this new technique. I also submitted a Project about developing new analysis technique for air analysis to TUBITAK (Turkish Science Society) and it was accepted but I had to return the scholarship as I quitted this position and started to work in private comapnt

Searched for technology transfer opportunities from university to industry

A general understanding of Intellectual Property rights on technological innovations such as patents, trade marks, patent applications, how to prepare patent search reports, patent claims and descriptions etc.

I worked in the project financed by Siemens, Bosch and DFG -Germany Research Foundation and conducted by three major groups as Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Fraunhofer Institute and Technical University of Darmstadt. The subject was about to develop lead-free piezoelectrics by Cu doping and monitoring the changes in the defect structure by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, EPR.

I worked in the project financed by Siemens, Bosch and DFG -Germany Research Foundation and conducted by three major groups as Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Fraunhofer Institute and Technical University of Darmstadt. The subject was about to develop lead-free piezoelectrics by Cu doping and monitoring the changes in the defect structure by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, EPR. By applying continous wave and pulsed EPR, the structure's and hence the ferro- and piezoelectric properties were intrepreted.

I worked as a research assistant in the TUBITAK project about converting of CO into useful materials by TiO2 based photocatalysis.

I worked in a multi-national company which is an exclusive distributor of many worldwide known manufacturers such as Perkin Elmer, PanAnalytical, Berghof, Skalar, J.P. Selecta, Velp etc…. During my work period I provided many different originated laboratories and university projects technical instruments and also technical support and consultancy. Unlike other sales engineers, I worked mostly in office because my main job based on the tender works and to direct and support other sales employees and dealers

I experienced to work in the quality control laboratory within a factory as a chemical engineer candidate during my education. I had a general understanding of quality experiments (chemical specifications) for a product.

As a chemical engineer candidate, I was too fortunate to have my first experience in a leading petrochemical company. I had a complete understanding of working in a refinery, learning the dynamics of many different processes. Besides petrochemical production, I had the advantage to view Chlor-Alkaline production with membrane cell technology (which was switched from amalgam based technology) in detailed. By this way, I learned the importance of clean and environment friendly working conditions as well.
