Fully understand ing of most of material properties needs an atomistic description from qua ntum mechanics. This is also true even for explaining experimental data\, especially for the systems involving nanostructures. To this end\, we pres ent the investigation of several state-of-the-art systems from first-princ iples calculations based on the density functional theory. Examples will i nclude battery applications as in Mo2C as a high capacity anode material\, peculiar piezoelectric properties of various 2D systems\, friction of sli ding of graphene or transition metal dichalcogenide layers\, and layered p erovskites for solar cells.\n\nBio: Oğuz Gülseren is a Professor of Phys ics at Bilkent University\, Ankara\, Turkey. After graduating from Ankara Science High School\, he received B. Sc. from Electronics and Electrical E ngineering Department of Middle East Technical University\, Ankara\, Turke y (July 1986). After then\, he completed his M. Sc (February 1988) and Ph. D. (July 1992) in physics from Bilkent University\, Ankara\, where he work ed on the electronic structure of low dimensional semiconductor systems. A fter then\, he worked at SISSA-Italy (Nov. 1992 to Apr. 1995)\, ICTP-Italy (Nov. 1994 to Apr. 1995)\, Bath University-UK (Apr. 1995 to Mar. 1998)\, Carnegie Institution of Washington-USA (Mar. 1998 to Aug. 1999)\, and Univ ersity of Pennsylvania and NIST-USA (Aug. 1999 to Aug. 2002). Eventually\, he joined Department of Physics\, Bilkent University at Sept. 2002. His c urrent research interests include properties of nanostructures like graphe ne\, nanotubes\, nanowires\, novel 2D materials\, theory of self-assembly and self-organization\, dye sensitized and perovskite solar cells\, atomic scale friction and biomimetic adhesion from first principles calculations . He has coauthored around 90 refereed papers with an h-index 26. He has r eceived TÜBİTAK- TWAS (Third World Academy of Science) young scientist a ward (2003)\, and İstanbul University science award (2002). He was an ass ociate member of the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Phys ics\, ICTP\, Trieste\, Italy for the period 2005-2010. He had been elected as associate member of Turkish Academy of Sciences\, TÜBA between 2006 a nd 2012\, and has been elected full member of Science Academy\, Istanbul s ince 2012. He is the recipient of the 2016 TÜBİTAK Science Award.\n\nAnk ara\, Ankara\, Türkiye LOCATION:Ankara\, Ankara\, Türkiye ORGANIZER:ozergul@metu.edu.tr SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:[Legacy Report] IEEE AP/MTT/EMC/ED TURKEY CHAPTER SEMINAR SERIES -- SEMINAR 15 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/153342 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Speaker: Prof. Oğuz G&uuml\;lseren\, Bilk ent University</p>\n<p>Topic: "My Journey in the Flatland"</p>\n<p>Locatio n:&nbsp\;Middle East Technical University\, Ankara\, Turkey</p>\n<p><em>Ab stract: Two-dimensional (2D) materials are expected to become key componen ts for not only electronic devices but also for energy storage application s including super capacitors and batteries as well as novel applications b ecause of their exotic properties.
