FOUNDED and DIRECTED LABORATORIES Founder and Director of Bogazici University Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (BUMEMS) Laboratory, Sep 2005-Now, Boğaziçi University, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, İstanbul, TURKEY. The aim of this laboratory is to do research on Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS), circuits, MEMS-circuit integration and polymer microfabrication including organic / polymer electronics and microfluidics. The initial focus is mainly on polymer microfabrication and their applications to MEMS, integrated polymer microsystems and electronic circuitry since it involves relatively cheaper and easier fabrication methods and equipment. The efforts to build the BUMEMS laboratory at the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering started on September 2005. The laboratory is under constant development. In-house polymer MEMS fabrication capabilities are developed, which lead to the fabrication of polymer electronics, polymer light emitting diodes, microfluidic devices and various integrated polymer micro systems. Novel devices have been shown by integrating organic electronics to MEMS and microfluidics.
