EMRAH KALEMCI’s PAGE
I am a member of the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Sabanci University. Previously, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Space Sciences Laboratory at Berkeley. I got my PhD at UCSD where I was working as a research assistant at the Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences. You may obtain a copy of my dissertation from the publications list.
My current research activities are concentrated on two topics; high energy astrophysics instrumentation and observational studies of Galactic black holes. More information on my research can be found in the links below.
At Sabanci, I teach Statistical Physics, Classical Mechanics, Inside the Milky Way, and Beyond the Milky Way classes.
I am also involved with public outreach efforts for astronomy, high energy astrophysics and astrophysical instrumentation. These include talks given at universities, high schools and kindergartens, and articles published at popular scientific magazines, such as Bilim ve Teknik and Bilim ve Utopya. Some of the talks and articles can be retrieved from my publications list.
TUBITAK Incentive Award
I am one of the recipients of the 2010 TUBITAK Incentive award given to researchers in Turkey under 40.
FP7 PEOPLE Initial Training Network
Sabancı University is a partner in the Initial Training Network Project “Black Hole Universe“. A PhD student is working under my supervision on multiwavelength observations of black holes. The total project budget is 2,5 Million Euros.
MARIE CURIE TRANSFER of 
KNOWLEDGE: ASTRONS
ASTRONS is an FP6 Transfer of Knowledge program led by Dr. Ali Alpar of Sabancı University. I coordinate efforts on high energy astrophysical instrumentation related to this project. I have visited University of Leicester and DTU-Space in Copenhagen, and several distinguished visitors arrived at Sabancı to help build an instrumentation lab here. The total project budget is 1,1 Million Euros.
TUBA – GEBIP YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARD
I have been one of the recipients of the Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA) Young Scientist Award (GEBIP) for the year 2007. The TUBA-GEBIP Programme was started in February 2001 with the objective to provide support to young scientists (under 37 years of age) of outstanding performance in a critical phase in their career as independent investigators. The GEBIP project will support high energy astrophysics instrumentation efforts in Turkey.
MARIE CURIE INTERNATIONAL
REINTEGRATION GRANT
I was awarded with the European Comission’s Marie Curie International Reintegration Grant (FP6) to work mainly on INTEGRAL data analysis at Sabanci University between 2005-2007. The Grant is titled Data Mining with the INTEGRAL Observatory, or INDAM. The project has finished. Please click here to obtain more information, publications and talks under the program.
