Serkan Caliskan, Ph.D.

Biography

Dr. Caliskan has been modeling low dimensional systems, nanomaterials and molecular bridges for the potential technological applications in relevant areas. These include 2D nanostructures and magnetic materials like spinel ferrites. He has been elucidating structural, magnetic, optical and spin resolved electronic structure characteristics of nanoscale materials and associated spin-based devices. He already examined spin field effect transistor together with small world networks and conducted accompanying research projects.

He plans to extend his research on novel structures and new material compositions (nanostructures with surface characteristics to develop sensors; biomolecules on a surface and in a molecular junction; biosensing devices; 2D materials; heterostructures; nanotubes as a spin filter). Investigation of these structures can be a model for the realistic systems and an insight for the experiments. They can be harnessed as building blocks to develop efficient novel multifunctional devices which can be applied in spintronics, nanoelectronics and molecular electronics.
