Hüseyin SÖZERİ
Hüseyin Sözeri graduated from the Middle Eastern Technical University in 1993 and the same year started his master’s education as a researcher. He received his MSc degree in 1996 with the work “Influence of magnetic field and temperature on I-V characteristics of YBCO high-temperature superconductor”. In 1997, he started work at the Magnetism Laboratory of TÜBİTAK UME as a researcher. In 2002, he completed his PhD thesis on “Magnetic flux dynamics in high-temperature superconductors” and in 2006 received an Associate Professorship title in Solid State and Statistical Physics. Has over 100 publications listed in the SCI index on magnetic properties of high-temperature superconductors, hard and soft magnetic materials, nanostructured superparamagnetic materials, and magnetic gels. At the same time, he is a reviewer for various journals included in the SCI index. He is married and has one child.
Lev DOROSINSKY
Lev Dorosinsky graduated from the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys in 1989 and began his research career at the Institute of Solid State Physics the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1994, he completed his PhD work, which was entitled “Investigation of the defect structure of YBa2Cu3O7-d single crystals and its effect on the superconducting properties”. Since 1998, he has been working at TÜBİTAK UME. He has nearly 50 publications in peer reviewed journals and has worked as a reviewer for numerous international journals. His main fields of research are:
- Defects of the real structure in high temperature superconductors, their types and conditions of formation. Mobility of twin boundaries in yttrium barium cuprates.
- Investigation of magnetic flux penetration and trapping in high temperature superconductors, influence of different structural defects on these processes, dynamics of the magnetic flux behaviour.
- Magnetic properties of magnetic semiconductors (spintronics materials).
Uğur Topal
Dr. Topal received his bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees from the Department of Physics at Middle East Technical University in 1995, 1997 and 2003, respectively. In 2013, he was awarded the title of Associate Professor in the field of Solid State Physics. After working as a faculty member at AİBÜ between 1995 and 1999, he started working as a researcher at TÜBİTAK UME in 1999. He has supervised the theses of 4 master's and 3 doctoral students and has been the lead author of over 75 international scientific articles and more than 25 peer-reviewed conference papers. He has contributed to the success of high school students in national and international projects, leading them to achieve top rankings. He has collaborated with esteemed academics from prestigious universities both domestically, such as Middle East Technical University, Karadeniz Technical University, Yıldız Technical University, Gebze Technical University, Çukurova University, Koç University, and Ankara University, and internationally, including the Slovak Academy of Sciences, University of Palermo, and the Russian Academy of Sciences, thereby contributing to the scientific literature. He serves on the editorial boards of international scientific journals such as Electronics Science Technology and Application, Thermal Science and Engineering, Current Chinese Science, and CEOS Nanotechnology and Nanoscience. He has been an invited speaker at numerous national and international conferences. He was the executive of the project for the development of the Magnetometer and Magnetic Torque Rod, which are used as attitude and orientation determination sensors and actuators for low orbit reconnaissance satellites, and pioneered the successful acquisition of history in the İMECE satellite. He is currently leading projects on magnetic navigation, an alternative navigation technique to GPS, and the development of magnetic gradiometers for the detection of buried explosive objects.
