Prestigious European Research Council grant awarded to Dr. Bayindir
Professor Mehmet BAYINDIR, asistant director of UNAM and faculty member of Physics Department, has been awarded ERC Starting Grant which was created to encourage “pioneering frontier research in any field of science, engineering and scholarship.” The ERC grant of € 1.5 million is for five years. Dr. Bayindir’s proposal focuses on the development of a novel fabrication technique (top-to-bottom iterative size reduction) in nanotechnology.
Nobel laureate Dr. Rohrer visits Bayindir Group laboratories
Nobel Laureate Henrich Rohrer visited Bayindir Research Group during his weeklong visit to UNAM, Bilkent University. Researchers had the rare opportunity to present and discuss their research, and hear Dr. Rohrer’s insight on nanoscience and nanotechnology. Dr. Rohrer shared the 1986 Physics Nobel Prize, with Ernst Ruska and Gerd Binnig for the design of the scanning tunneling microscope.
