Dr. Oktay Yilmazoglu

Oktay Yilmazoglu received the Dr.-Ing. and Habilitation degree from the Institute of Microwave Engineering, Technical University of Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany, in 2004 and 2013, respectively.
He worked on several projects where compound semiconductor materials and technologies were used to develop sensors and electric devices on the basis of GaAs, GaN and ZnO as well as carbon nanotubes and graphene for applications in mechanical engineering and at high-frequency. He has ten years of expertise in microelectronic devices and components. This includes the design, fabrication and characterization of 3-D magnetic field sensors, pressure sensors, gas sensors, acceleration sensors, high-frequency diodes, and nanostructured field emission devices for high frequency generation. Work on field emission included the experimental use of 1-D or 2-D materials, as well as the theoretical evaluation of related quantum size effects. He is currently working in the field of THz photomixers as well as CNT- and graphene-based field-emission devices for sensing, electron source and microwave applications.
