                                            Dr Sara Hooshmand, PostDoc Researcher

Sara Hooshmand is a postdoctoral researcher in Nanotechnology Research and Application Center (SUNUM), Sabanci University, Istanbul, Turkey. She has obtained both her MSc and PhD in Analytical Chemistry and has been working on the development of various modified green and chemical nanosorbents and bioelectro-nanosensors for detection and quantification of trace amounts of anticancer drugs in biological samples using novel microextraction techniques. She has also worked on evaluating the protective effects of different plant extracts in rat models of hepatocellular carcinoma and type-2 diabetes during her first postdoc in Pharmacological Research Center of Medicinal Plants, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran. Currently, her research interests include nanosensors, sol-gel based optical sensors, microextraction techniques, nanobioactive glasses, herbonanoceuticals, drug-delivery, cancer therapy and animal model research.

Oğuz Bayındır completed his primary and secondary education from Erzurum. He has graduated from Atatürk University, Faculty of Science, Department of Chemistry in 2005, which he entered with his 1st choice in 2001. He has completed his non-thesis master’s education in the Department of Science and Mathematics Education in 2007 at the Institute of Science, and his doctorate in Analytical Chemistry in 2017 from the same Institue. He has done his first postdoctoral research studies in 2019-2020 with the support of TÜBTAK 2218 program. Currently, he is working as a second posdoc in TÜBİTAK-2232 Project with the titled “Research-to-Adoption of Next Generation Li-ion Batteries for Electric Vehicle Applications” at the TUBITAK Gebze Campus, Institute of Rail Transportation Technologies (RUTE). He focuses on the topic of “Synthesis and Investigation of the Properties and Cell Applications of MoS2 Nanoparticles”, “Synthesis of Monolayer and 2D Hexagonal Boron Nitride and Its Use in Lithium-Ion Batteries”, “Development of Physically Oriented Anode and Cathode Materials for Use in Lithium-Ion Batteries”, “Preparation of Guided Forms of Reduced Graphene Oxide Composites and Investigation of Electrochemical Biosensor Properties”. He can use potentiostat/Galvanostat, STM/AFM, SEM, UV-Vis, FT-IR and XRD devices as well as computer aided analyzers at a good level. He has an intermediate level of English and develops with the support of technological devices. He is interested in nanoscience, electrochemistry, carbon-based and 2D materials, batteries, composites, biosensors and electromagnetic radiation. It aims to contribute to the R&D studies on advanced technological market products.
