My project

​The use of biosourced precursors for the elaboration of structured carbonaceous composite materials with high
electric conductivity and tuneable open micro/nano porosity; the use of natural wood slices and of fluid biobased polymers compatible with LDM as carbon precursors for the elaboration of structured GDL; the 3D printing of macroporous structures on the surface of wood slices and their subsequent carbonization in order to generate bulk carbon sheets with hierarchical porosity.

About me

I hold both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Materials Science and Nanotechnology from Sabancı University. My research interests focus on composite materials and their performance in diverse application areas such as energy, food packaging, and environmental technologies. During my Master’s, I worked on photothermal and nanocomposite materials for applications including shelf-life extension, energy conversion, antibacterial surfaces, and water desalination.​​

​

Currently, I am pursuing my PhD jointly at University of Grenoble and Politecnico di Torino. My project explores the use of natural wood and bio-based polymers in additive manufacturing (specifically Liquid Deposition Modeling) to produce components such as gas diffusion layers and carbon electrodes for fuel cells. The goal is to develop sustainable, high-performance 3D-structured materials that can contribute to the advancement of clean energy technologies.
