Biography
Refik ARAT received his PhD from ITU Chemistry Department in 2018. He conducted post-doctoral research for 1 year at Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology in Jena/Germany between 2019-2020 with TÜBİTAK-2219 post-doctoral research program. He worked as a "researcher" for 1 year in the Nanosis Project carried out by the Sabancı University Nanotechnology Application and Research Center (SUNUM), and still continues to work as a "guest-researcher" in the same project.
He studies on preparation of transparent and conductive thin films containing graphene and silver nanowires for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications; synthesis of phase change materials and magnetic nanoparticles and, their polymeric nanoweb composites fabrication via electrospinning technique for novel thermal energy storage materials and magnetic hyperthermia on cancer therapy, respectively; silica aerogel synthesis by sol-gel processing and polymer/aerogel nanocomposites production via electrospinning technique for thermal protective clothing; hydrogel synthesis and drug delivery systems; nanoclay surface modification for improve compatibility in polymeric matrices and increase thermal and mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites.
