Eylul
Yakar graduated from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at TOBB
University of Economics and Technology in 2022. The same year, she
began her thesis-based master's degree in Nanotechnology and
Nanomedicine at Hacettepe University. During her undergraduate
studies, she participated in cell culture experiments and contributed
to cancer research involving nanomaterials. She also worked with
molecular biology techniques and conducted microbiology experiments.
For her undergraduate thesis, she examined brain networks during
mental arithmetic tasks.
In
her master's studies, Eylul Yakar has been involved in various
projects based on nanomaterials. She participated in a scientific
research project focusing on high-resolution diagnostic and analysis
systems by synthesizing specialized metal oxide nanoparticles.
Additionally, for another project based on a water filtration system,
she synthesized various forms of titanium dioxide, such as nanorods
and nanowires, using hydrothermal methods. As part of the TUBITAK
1004 project, she synthesized nanostructures on the surface of
titanium alloy through anodic oxidation and contributed to the
investigation of the osseointegration of the synthesized material
using various characterization techniques. Currently, for her
master's thesis, she is working on synthesizing black titanium
dioxide nanostructures using electrochemical methods and evaluating
the antibacterial properties of these nanostructures.
