“Communicating science is as important as the research itself”   İpek Efe Efe is a fourth-year doctoral student in Prof. Morgan Trassin’s team at the Laboratory for Multifunctional Ferroic Materials. She is a former president of SAM – Scientific Staff Association at the Department of Materials.   My research   ➡ I focus on #ferroelectric materials. Due to their crystal structure, they naturally separate and store positive and negative charges on their opposite ends. These materials complement and may even replace semiconductors in future electronic devices as they are more energy-efficient and can provide higher information storage density. Now, however, their potential is still limited by issues like decreasing stability (so-called “fatigue”) after repeated use or lack of control of their properties.   Currently, I’m working on a thin film material that combines different ferroelectric compounds in one structure—think of it as a composite material but with constituents as thin as several atomic layers. The resulting new material shows new macroscopic properties while still preserving the functionalities of the parent compounds. Thanks to these new properties, we are now one step closer to the development of fatigue-free ferroelectric devices. Our paper on this project is under review and will hopefully be published soon.   My MaP moment   ➡A defining moment for me at MaP was giving a talk at the 2023 MaP Graduate Symposium. I had spoken at conferences before, but this talk was different—there was a larger, more diverse audience, and I had only 10 minutes to present my work to an audience outside my field. It was a challenge, but it taught me how to simplify complex ideas for a broader audience.   After my talk, I was approached by several fellow students, and I realised that my research had more in common with work in other departments than I had thought. This experience reinforced my belief that communicating science is as important as doing the research itself. It’s crucial to make scientific advancements accessible to the public so that, when innovations reach society, they’re understood and accepted.   My future   ➡I’m passionate about materials science because it bridges engineering and natural sciences across different scales—from nano to macro. I love the intellectual challenge of academia and the sense of discovery that comes with it. I also like teaching, as I see it as a way to inspire and mentor the next generation of scientists. My goal is to continue in academia. I’m particularly interested in doing a postdoc in the United States after completing my doctorate at ETH Zurich, where I’ve also earned my Master’s. In the midterm, I see myself working in Europe or my native Turkey though.   ETH Zurich Competence Center for Materials and Processes (MaP) regularly portrays members of associated research groups.   #MaP #MaterialsandProcesses #MaPDoctoralSchool #MaPPortraits #MaterialsScience ✍ Barbara Lau-Hauser & İpek Efe 📸 Bixin Yan

🚀 I’m happy to share that I’ve completed my Doctor of Philosophy - PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Boğaziçi Üniversitesi! 🔍 Throughout my PhD research, I focused on analyzing the interactions between users and smart devices. I utilized various AI techniques to process sensor data, aiming to extract valuable insights about user habits and behaviors. 📝 During this productive journey, I have published 7 academic papers related to my research topic. 🙌 I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my supervisor, Prof. Dr. Emin Anarim, for his invaluable guidance and unwavering support throughout my PhD journey. #PhD #Research #ElectricalEngineering #SmartDevices #AI #AcademicPublishing #BoğaziçiUniversity #Boğaziçi #machinelearning #BOUN #turkcell #dbs #dijitalisservisleri #TurkcellAkademi

On Friday 5 April 2024, Fatemeh Kakavandi from ECE will be defending her PhD dissertation. The title of the PhD thesis is: ”𝐄𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬” During her PhD studies, Fatemeh Kakavandi conducted research on the utilization of emerging technologies, including Digital Twins and Machine Learning, in Industrial Medical Device Assembly Processes. Her focus was on exploring how these concepts could offer insights into process quality and identify abnormal situations. Fatemeh Kakavandi investigated the challenges associated with the deployment of Machine Learning models in industrial settings, such as the issues of interpretability and the availability of sufficient labeled data. She developed solutions to address these challenges, and her research findings provide valuable insights into the development of Machine Learning-based fault detection models for industrial use cases with specific challenges. Information about the PhD defence👇 📅 5 April 2024 🕛 13.00 📍 Building 5124, room 038, Finlandsgade 20, 8200 Aarhus N. Read more about the PhD thesis: https://lnkd.in/gvwMk76J.
