My Drive

I have a passion for innovation. I believe there’s an opportunity to research for the better in every scenario, no matter how simple or how unimportant it may seem. Research can decrease costs, enhance the environmental impact, improve the reliability, or simply add a new function to everything we see around us.

A simple example: the paperclip, which was thought to be the best design for the job, and was thought to never improve or change, was recently created with a material called nitinol. Nitinol is a Nickel-Titanium alloy that returns to its original shape under heat, no matter how deformed it is. The nitinol paperclip solved the problem of permanent deformation with the paperclip. A product that was thought to be the best of its capacity, was therefore improved.

This is exactly where my passion brings me. To innovate and research as much as possible, improving as much as possible, and innovating as much as possible.

My Work

 

Efficient Wireless Charger

After two years of research and trial, I successfully increased the efficiency of an industry standard wireless charger up from the accepted 87.7% to 97.7%. Visit the “Projects” page for more information.

Koç University Internship

I spent four weeks at Koç University, in Istanbul, Turkey, in the summer of 2018. There, I worked alongside a dozen other interns to design the Koç University mobile app. Visit the “Projects” page for more information.

Science Internship Program

I spent a summer at the prestigious SIP astrophysics program: “Evolved Stars with Weak Paschen Series Absorption and Small Proper Motions - HALO7D Survey.” Visit the “Projects” page for more information.
