• Production and development of collagen-based 3D porous scaffolds mimicking bone structure

Magnetic Materials:

• Production of various magnetic nanoparticles by different methods, modification and antibacterial applications
• Integration of magnetic nanoparticles and catalysts into metal organic structures (MOF) and their use as catalyst systems in organic reactions

Semiconductor Materials:

• Synthesis of semiconductors used in photocatalytic decomposition, medical, energy production fields and doping these semiconductors with different metals
• Developing photoanode materials and dyes for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC)

Alloy Development: 

• Development of Titanium and its alloys for implants to be produced instead of load bearing bones such as knees and hips.
• Coating of bioactive materials on the surface of Ti alloys

Biochemical Applications: 

• Enzyme-based 3rd generation biosensors and temperature-pH stimulated biosensor studies.
• Studies of biosensors construted with reduced graphene oxides obtained with natural polyphenol species based on green chemistry.
• Photoelectrochemical biosensor studies with semiconductors.
