EDUCATION 2010 – Present (Expected to hold PhD in February,2014) PhD in Physics Program; Centre for Condensed Matter Materials and Physics, School of Physics and Astronomy, Queen Mary, University of London, London, UK Programme Leader(s): Prof Martin Dove Research Project: Advanced techniques for formation of Germanium nanoparticles and interaction with living cells Supervisor: Dr Andrei V Sapelkin Project Overview: In this project, we have been investigating how different forms and structures can contribute to the light emission in germanium nanoparticles. Ge nanoparticles were prepared H-terminated, O-terminated, embedded in silica and can be suspended in ethanol or water depending on the desired post-process. Also, viability test of these nanoparticles were performed on cervical cancer cells (HeLa cells) in vitro and found (V. 25/03/2015) promising relative to commercial carboxyl coated CdSe/ZnS. In characterisation synchrotron based X-ray absorption (OD-EXAFS and EXAFS) and X-ray diffraction, X-ray excited optical luminescence and conventional techniques such as Transmission electron microscope, Raman and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy utilised. My job in the group has been to synthesize and characterise Ge nanoparticles in terms of structure and its optical properties. Here, I have used chemical etching, sol-gel technique, laser ablation and RT colloidal synthesis. 2008 – 2010 MSc in Physics Program; School of Physics (Honour) Bionanotechnology Institute, Fatih University, Istanbul, Turkey Dissertation: Chemical and Physical Formation of Surfactant Assisted Porous Silicon (Honour).
