Burc Misirlioglu

Burc Misirlioglu is a Professor at Sabancı University's Materials Science and Engineering Program, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences. His research focuses on functional oxides, defects, interfaces, and microstructure in confined dimensions, with applications in energy storage, non-volatile memories, and electrooptical devices.

• Education: Ph.D. (2006), M.Sc. (2001), and B.Sc. (1998) in Materials Science and Metallurgy from University of Connecticut and Istanbul Technical University.
• Research: Investigates defects' impact on phase transitions, polarization, and caloric effects in ferroelectric and ferromagnetic systems.
• Grants: Principal Investigator for TÜBİTAK 1001 projects on electrocaloric effects and negative capacitance.
• Students: Advises current Ph.D. candidates like Cihan Arlı and mentors alumni now in academia or industry (e.g., Barış Okatan at İzmir Institute of Technology).
• Invited Talks: Presented at MRS 2023 Fall Meeting and Photonics Workshop 2023 on voltage amplification and optical phase transitions.

Publications: Recent work spans the electrocaloric effect, polarization reversal mechanics, and chirality control in nanoscale magnetic systems.

• Scientific Awards: Recipient of the AvH Fellowship at Max Planck Institute (2006-2007).
