Prof. Dr. Nilgün Baydoğan
Professor Nilgun Baydogan's research is centred on the interaction of ionizing radiation with materials. Her work spans a broad range of applications, including smart polymeric materials, thin-film solar cells, flexible polymer nanocomposites, self-healing polymer nanocomposites, and living polymers. Her research focuses on industrial materials to use in aerospace technology, high-altitude platforms, radiation protection for optoelectronic equipment, radiation health physics for personnel (such as aircrew etc.) and the radiation protection of the equipment in the service environment.
She is widely recognized for her contributions to applying nuclear techniques across various materials, including polymer nanocomposites, semiconductors, thin-film solar cells, flexible materials, polymers, and transparent conductive oxide (TCO) thin films. Additionally, she is known for her expertise in nondestructive testing methods like gamma-ray radiography, X-ray radiography, and ultrasound testing, applied to materials such as polymer nanocomposites and stainless steels.
The primary goal of her research involving ionizing radiation is to identify the optimal absorbed dose for materials to enhance their performance in challenging environments, such as satellites and aircraft. This research demands careful consideration of icephobic and hydrophobic coatings, nanocomposites, nanocoatings with high corrosion resistance, and the development of nanosensors for early diagnosis.
Currently, Professor Baydogan is focused on the development of nanocomposites for European green vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles, aerospace applications, and nano-biosensors for early diagnosis. Her research interests also extend to radiation protection and health physics, radiation shielding, radiation dosimetry, radiation detection and measurement in high-dose areas, radiological materials, and the study of radiation-induced damage in materials.
