We would like to thank Mr. Aydınlı for his inspiring presentation titled, “Is the electron dead? Did Foton take revenge?”
Dr. Aydınlı, finished his Ph.D. at the University of Virginia in 1980. After a postdoctoral stint at Kansas State University he was appointed at the Engineering Physics Department of Hacettepe University in Ankara. He was awarded a scholarship to do research at Padova University where he used accelerators to study strain in epitaxial layers of InGaAs on GaAs. In 1991 he joined Bilkent University Physics Department, where set up a semiconductor device lab (w/R. Ellialtıoğlu) and did research on semiconductor lasers, light emitting diodes and infrared detectors. During this time, he was also a Fulbright Professor at Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at UC Santa Barbara.
He Joined Uludağ University Electrical and Electronics Department in 2016 and retired due to age limit in 2019. He is currently consulting and supporting projects in fiber lasers and photonics.
