Teaching

I am teaching 3 courses this coming semester at Boğaziçi University. Please sign up for courses on the University website. If you have any specific questions about course topics, feel free to message my office, and a teaching staff member will respond as soon as possible.

103: General Chemistry I

Semester: Spring/Fall

Offered: 2023

Fundamental concepts of chemistry; atomic structure, periodic trends, chemical bonding, gases, liquids, solids, and solutions.

585: Batteries and Characterization Techniques 

Semester: Spring/Fall

Offered: 2023

The focus of the course will be linked to rechargeable batteries and their characterization methods. The course initially will dive into the active materials and their properties. Synthesis methods of different active materials will be elaborated along with how to characterize them via conventional methods such as XRD, Raman, etc. Advanced characterizations will be followed with a special focus on Synchrotron experiments. Physical and spectroscopic properties and electrochemical performance relationships will be taught. Non-invasive methods to elucidate battery chemistries will also be another focus of this class where CV, dQ/dV plots, Impedance, etc. methods will be elaborated. In-situ cell designs for battery applications will also be covered. Overall it is expected that the student will gain skills relevant to the battery and their characterization methods.

473: Research Techniques in Chemistry

Semester: Spring

Offered: 2023

Laboratory or literature research on a subject chosen in conjunction with a faculty member; a written final report is required.
