Oriented Self-Assembly of Colloidal Semiconductor Nanoplatelets on Liquid Interfaces

Dr. O. Erdem received his B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engineering in 2013, 2015, and 2020, respectively, and minor degree in the Department of Physics in 2013, from Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey. His research interests include colloidal quantum well self-assembly, nanocrystal optoelectronics and ultrafast spectroscopy. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium. Dr. Erdem received Leopold B. Felsen Award for Excellence in Electromagnetics, given by EMC Turkey and Leopold B. Felsen Fund, Boston, and IEEE Turkey Doctoral Thesis Award, both in 2021.Professor H. V. Demir received his B.Sc. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering in 1998 from Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey, and his MS degree (Edward L. Ginzton fellowship) in 2000 and Ph.D. degree (Stanford-Intel scholarship) in 2004, both in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, CA, USA. Currently, he is a professor of Electrical Engineering, Physics, and Materials Science and Engineering at NTU Singapore and is a National Research Foundation — NRF fellow of Singapore. Concurrently, he holds appointment as a chair professor of Materials Science and Nanotechnology as well as of Electrical Engineering and of Physics at Bilkent University (his alma mater) and UNAM. His current research interests include nanocrystal optoelectronics, semiconductor lighting, and implantable electronics. He is presently the Springer Nature series editor of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (2013-…) and is on the ACS Photonics Editorial Board (2020-…) and was an editor of Optics Express of OSA (2014-2020). He is elected as a fellow of The Optical Society (Optica, formerly OSA) in 2019 and a fellow of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) in 2020. Dr. Demir has received the TUBİTAK Science Award in 2020 and the Turkish Physical Society’s International Special Honor Award in 2021
