ALI KARATUTLU, BSc, MSc, PhD Address: Bursa Orhangazi University 16310 YILDIRIM Campus, YILDIRIM Bursa E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] Website: http://alikaratutlu.com Telephone: +904448268 int:1166 Date of Birth/Place: May 1985/Turkey MAJOR STRENGTHS 6 years of experimental research experience in the field of materials science and physics including MSc and PhD studies. 4 and half years of dedicated work on using synchrotron based XRD/EXAFS/OD-EXAFS/XEOL techniques. Competent to use advanced production methods of nanomaterials such as the sol-gel method, etching (chemical, electrochemical and vapour phase), laser ablation, chemical vapour deposition, colloidal synthesis. Experience of studying with several characterisation techniques including X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (in Diamond light source), Transmission electron microscopy with selective area electron diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy, Uv-Vis absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy, laser scanning confocal microscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Achieving projects within the given deadline. Excellent at teamwork and also capable of working independently. 5 years of supervision to undergraduate and post-graduate students. 6 years of teaching and demonstration in Laboratory classes, and one to one tutoring. Volunteering in charity & social activities organised by the group members or by the clubs or charities. EDUCATION 2010 – Present (Expected to hold PhD in February,2014) PhD in Physics Program; Centre for Condensed Matter Materials and Physics, School of Physics and Astronomy, Queen Mary, University of London, London, UK Programme Leader(s): Prof Martin Dove Research Project: Advanced techniques for formation of Germanium nanoparticles and interaction with living cells Supervisor: Dr Andrei V Sapelkin Project Overview: In this project, we have been investigating how different forms and structures can contribute to the light emission in germanium nanoparticles. Ge nanoparticles were prepared H-terminated, O-terminated, embedded in silica and can be suspended in ethanol or water depending on the desired post-process. Also, viability test of these nanoparticles were performed on cervical cancer cells (HeLa cells) in vitro and found (V. 25/03/2015) promising relative to commercial carboxyl coated CdSe/ZnS. In characterisation synchrotron based X-ray absorption (OD-EXAFS and EXAFS) and X-ray diffraction, X-ray excited optical luminescence and conventional techniques such as Transmission electron microscope, Raman and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy utilised. My job in the group has been to synthesize and characterise Ge nanoparticles in terms of structure and its optical properties. Here, I have used chemical etching, sol-gel technique, laser ablation and RT colloidal synthesis. 2008 – 2010 MSc in Physics Program; School of Physics (Honour) Bionanotechnology Institute, Fatih University, Istanbul, Turkey Dissertation: Chemical and Physical Formation of Surfactant Assisted Porous Silicon (Honour).
