Ahmet Kaymaz

Ahmet Kaymaz serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechatronics Engineering at Karabuk University's Faculty of Engineering, a position held since 2020 following 10 years as a Research Assistant in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the same institution.

Education:

• PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Karabuk University (2015-2020)
• MSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Karabuk University (2012-2015)
• BSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Pamukkale University (2006-2010)

Research Focus: Dr. Kaymaz specializes in semiconductor device physics with emphasis on radiation effects and temperature dependencies in Schottky diodes and metal-semiconductor interfaces. His work explores diamond-like carbon (DLC) and organic interlayers for radiation sensing applications, spanning core areas of Electronics, Semiconductors, Nanotechnology, and Optoelectronics. Current investigations examine copper-doped DLC structures and cobalt/zinc-modified organic layers to enhance radiation detection capabilities.

Publication Trends: His 14 journal articles (2020-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on electrical characterization under ionizing radiation, with 70% involving GaAs-based devices and DLC/organic interfaces. Recent work (2024-2025) increasingly incorporates multi-parameter analysis of barrier height distributions and polarization mechanisms, reflecting methodological maturation in radiation effects quantification.

Academic Contributions: Dr. Kaymaz advises Master's candidate Mustafa Şahin (thesis on copper-doped DLC Schottky devices) and teaches core electronics courses including Electronic I/II. He currently serves as Faculty Coordinator for Applied Education and Career Planning (2024-present) and previously chaired the university's Applied Education Committee (2021-2024), demonstrating institutional leadership beyond research.

Professional Development: Certified in AFAD Disaster Response and First Aid, he maintains active research collaboration networks evidenced by 17 co-authors since 2019, primarily with Esra Evcin and Şemsettin Altındal. His English proficiency (YÖKDİL 71) supports international publication in SCI-indexed journals.
