Recent Progress in the Physics of Thermal Transport
17/07/2017-21/07/2017

Theoretical and experimental aspects of thermal transport have recently attraced much attention due to the incerasing need of thermal management in submicron scale computer and optoelectronic devices.
On the theory side, thermal conductivity of real bulk materials and conductance of interfaces can now be computed from first principles density-functional theory without the need to invoke any fitting parameters. Thermal transport due to harmonic phonons in disordered systems has also been investigated using analytical and numerical tools.
We would like to bring together experts and students from different communities to share their interest and experience in the fields of thermal transport, non-linear dynamics and localization.

Kendisi Hakkında:

İstanbul Amerikan Robert Lisesi 'nde okurken TÜBİTAK proje yarışmasında matematik dalında Türkiye'de verilen ilk ödülü almıştır. Kendisi bir röportajında hocası Selim Tezel'in yönlendirmesi ve teşviğiyle yarışmaya katılmaya karar verdiğini söylemiş ve yarışmaya katıldığı konuyu şöyle açıklamıştır: "Konu konik kesitlerdi. Elips aldığınız zaman iki tane noktayı alırsınız ve sorarsınız ki öyle bir eğri var mıdır ki bu iki noktadan da bu iki mesafeye olan mesafelerin toplamı sabit olsun. Ben bunu 3 nokta olsa diye merak ettim. Tek nokta daire, iki nokta elips, üç nokta alınırsa ne olur diye merak ettim. Sonra aradaki farklari çıkarsanız ne olur diye merak ettim. O ara yeni bir program vardı “Geometry Sketch Pad” diye, bunu kullanarak çizdirebildik bu tip eğrileri."

Daha çok matematik ve müzikle ilgilenmesine,fizik derslerini sevmemesine rağmen 14 yaşında Cenevre'de katıldığı Avrupa Matematik Yarışması sonrası CERN'de yapılan gezide gördüklerinden çok etkilenmiştir. MIT (Massachusetts Teknoloji Enstitüsü)'ne başvurusunda başvuru mektubunu CERN'de geçirmiş olduğu bir gün üzerine yazmıştır.

Lisede okurken Amerika'da MIT, Harvard, Stanford ve Caltech olmak üzere 4 üniversiteye başvuru yapmış ve Türkiye'deki üniversite sınavlarına hazırlandığı 17 Mart tarihinde MIT tarafından tam burslu olarak kabul almıştır. Fizik bölümünü matematik ve müzik bölümlerinden sertifika alarak 2001 yılında bitirmiştir. MIT Fizik Öğrenci Birliği ve Türk Öğrenci Birliği başkanlığı yapmıştır. Lisans ve master eğitimini tamamlamıştır.

Almanya'da bulunan Mainz Johannes Gutenberg Üniversitesi'nde staj yapmıştır.

Doktorasına MIT'de başlamasına rağmen Columbia uzay mekiği kazası nedeniyle projesini tamamlayamamış ve Oxford Üniversitesi'ne başvurmuştur. Doktorasını İngiltere Enerji Bakanlığı'nın senede beş kişiye verdiği Dorothy Hodgkin bursunu alarak ATLAS deneyinde üç yılda tamamlamıştır.

Optically active spins confined in solids, such as semiconductors and diamond, provide interesting and rich physical systems. Their inherently mesoscopic nature leads to a multitude of dynamics within the solid state environment of spins, charges, vibrations and light. While the quantum optics has provided the toolbox for advanced spectroscopic investigations for these interaction mechanisms, it has also offer solution possibilities for their detrimental effects for the realisation of operational quantum devices. Implementing a high level of control on these constituents and their interactions with each other creates exciting opportunities for realizing stationary and flying qubits within the context of spin-based quantum information science. In this talk, I will provide a snapshot of the progress and challenges for quantum optically interconnected solid-state spins, as well as first steps towards hybrid quantum devices involving other physical systems.

COLLOQUIA - Unveiling the fundamental laws of Nature

08/09/201610:30-11:30

Date & Time: 8 September 2016 – 10:30

Abstract
Particle physics studies the elementary constituents of matter and their fundamental forces. Very short distances are explored by particle collisions at very high energies, creating conditions similar to those governing the Universe just after the Big Bang. Laws of Nature become then easier and can be described in terms of simple mathematical theories.
The current theory, called Standard Model, provides an accurate description of all known physical phenomena in the microcosmos and its last ingredient, needed to explain the origin of mass of elementary particles, was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in 2012. Particle physics is now entering into a new era of unexplored territories beyond our current understanding of Nature.
Among theoretical proposals, string theory unifies all known physical theories of fundamental interactions including gravity in a coherent framework and provides an exciting possibility for discovering new spectacular phenomena and Universe’s hidden dimensions.

Density Functional Theory Based Tight Binding Methods
19/07/2016-22/07/2016

Computational techniques have proven to provide indispensable insights into the properties of materials and phenomena associated with their design, synthesis and processing and have expanded our understanding significantly. The density functional based tight binding (DFTB) method is based on expansions of the Kohn-Sham total energy in density functional theory (DFT) with respect to charge density fluctuations. Furthemore, by self consistent redistribution of charges (SCC), DFTB can be successfully applied to problems, where deficiencies within standard tight binding approach become obvious. As a result, fairly accurate simulations of large systems and long time scales can be achieved with DFTB.
Using DFTB, one can include spin polarization, charged systems, long range interactions, quantum mechanics-molecular mechanics coupled simulations, time dependent simulations, Green’s function approach for calculating quasiparticle energies (GW), and nonequilibrium Green’s function method for quantum transport (NEGF).

During the workshop, lectures presenting the theoretical framework will be complemented with hands-on sessions and experts will present their recent works using the DFTB methodology.
The participant profile is fourth year undergraduate or garduate students of physics, chemistry and materials science, researchers involved in computational condensed matter physics, computational materials science, computational chemistry.
