Dr. Balci received his PhD from the University of Maryland, College Park in the field of high temperature superconductivity under the supervision of Prof. Richard Greene. He switched his research field to single molecule biophysics during his post-doctoral career. As a post-doc he worked in the laboratories of Prof. Paul Selvin and Prof. Taekjip Ha at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Balci currently studies DNA-protein interactions using high resolution fluorescence microscopy techniques.
