• Investigated symmetry breaking in high temperature YBCO superconductors by performing Infrared Faraday measurements

• Measured Infrared magneto-optical Kerr and Faraday effects of iron based superconductors Carbon Nano - onions 8/2012 - 3/2013

• Measured Infrared magneto-optical Kerr and Faraday effects of carbon nano-onions at low temperature and high magnetic field (7T)

Teaching Assistant, State University of New York at Buffalo, Dept. of Physics 01/2015 - 08/2015

• Demonstrated college physic laboratory experiments to 52 students in two sections

• Assisted students with performance of college physics laboratory experiments

• Graded laboratory assignments and exams.

Visiting Research Assistant, Syracuse University, Dept. of Physics 01/2010-06/2010

• Plasmonic phase shifts and light-trapping in thin film semiconductors: Increased the optical absorption and photocerrent generation in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) layers and in nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) solar cells by applying silver nanoparticle monolayers.

Graduate Research Assistant, Yildiz Technical University, Dept. of Physics 09/2008-06/2009

• Reduced Transfer Matrix Approach For Ising Model: Improved the value of the critical coupling strength Kc of 2D and 3D Ising models by exploiting new transfer matrix method. The average magnetization per spin equation is numerically solved using MATLAB.

Undergraduate Internship, Metro Istanbul, Dept. of Research and Development 09/2008-06/2009

• Solved the derailing problem in metro vehicles: Found and corrected the cause of this problem, which was due to an error in the CNC code for machining the train wheels. PUBLICATIONS
