Fiber-based piezoelectric sensor to listen space dusts on the International Space Station
MIT’s smart fabric with fibers-based piezoelectric sensors are headed to the International Space Station for measuring the impacts of space dusts in harsh environments. The technology behind this multi-material fiber-based sensor technology was invented at MIT (Bayindir, Fink, et al., Nature, 2004).
Professor Bayindir received Alexander von Humboldt Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel research award
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation presents approximately 20 Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Awards annually to internationally renowned academics from abroad in recognition of their outstanding accomplishments in research.
Pelin Tören successfully defended her PhD thesis
Pelin Tören received her PhD degree with her thesis titled ultra high quality factor microtoroidal optical resonators in label – free biosensing applications with high sensitivity and selectivity. She is currently working in the Joanneum Research in Weiz, Austria.
Critical review on oligonucleotide based detection with optical microresonators
Our critical review is published in Lab on a Chip. The use of Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) type optical microresonators as chemical and biological sensors have created a significant interest accompanied with considerable excitement in the broad field of biosensing, particularly by virtue of their extremely high sensitivity.
