I got my Ph.D from Department of Physics, Bilkent University in June 2008 and moved to California Institute of Technology to continue my research as a postdoctoral scholar at Harry A. Atwater's group.


My new website is: http://www.its.caltech.edu/~koray



I would like to thank my professors, colleagues, friends and staff in Bilkent University for making my life easier and providing me a friendly and fruitful academic environment that I benefited a lot during my undergraduate and graduate study. I'll never forget you!
