Greetings
Greetings. This webpage is mostly intended to house links and short descriptions
of what I have done and some basic information. I have an intention of becoming an experimental
physicist, right now particularly interested in circuit QED, quantum optics and solid state physics. I love
modeling physical phenomena in-silico (and most of the time I do), because numerical science
almost always presents insightful questions in physics and mathematics to tackle.
I have considerable experience in microwave analog circuit design and optoelectronics and I had an education focusing on analog VLSI & Device Physics, and assisted research concerning both numerical modeling and experiments.
I am motivated to contribute to the effort in uncovering the area of device physics with an emphasis on engineering mesoscopic quantum states, by optical or electronic means.
Active Projects
Kreveik
Kreveik is a package coded in Python & C that is meant for the
investigation of dynamics and evolution of random Boolean networks.
With this package, one can create Boolean networks, form ensembles
of them, expose them to genetic algorithms and extract relevant information.
This project is open to contribution. It is a project that I learn how to
create a simulator in Python, and build the facilities accordingly, so it is
likely that it has structural flaws. The main hub for development is
GitHub and anyone
can issue a bug or suggest a feautre there.
Monty Carlo
Monty-Carlo is a Monte-Carlo simulation engine written in Python
for physical applications. It is meant to be an engine as
flexible and visual as possible, trading off from speed.
This project is open to contribution. The work on this will be
continued on January,2012.
Competitions & Awards
IEEE IMS 2011 - Design of an Optical to Microwave Converter
Design of an analog optical to microwave converter in 2 GHz in
IEEE International Microwave Symposium held in Maryland, Baltimore
in 2011. Shared the first prize with the team from UMass Dartmouth.
Other team members include U.Aygun, O.Katircioglu, S. Kapicioglu.
I am the mentor of the follow-up group from Istanbul Technical University
regarding the similar design competition in IMS 2012, Montreal.
Graduation Projects
Symmetry in Nonlinear Dynamical System Networks
This is my graduation project from Electrical Engineering. It is based on the work by Golubitsky
& Stewart, "The Symmetry Perspective", trying to realize symmetrically coupled networks of
nonlinear dynamical systems with numerical simulations. I learned how to apply groups of finite
symmetry operators to dynamical systems, and shown (as did in G&S) that the homomophism
from network topology to the solution set of the dynamical system gives one the ability to
think in terms of symmetry while engineering.
I think this is may have very interesting applications in oscillator design, RF resonators, but more
importantly, it presents a new viewpoint, thus new opportunities in design of electronics.
A Model for Evolution of Random Boolean Networks (Turkish)
This is my Engineering Physics graduation project, where the effect of topological properties of random Boolean networks over their dynamics are investigated. More explanation on this later.
