Selahattin Bozkurt

Assoc. Prof. Selahattin Bozkurt is affiliated with Uşak University at the Health Services Vocational School, Medical Services and Techniques Department. He holds a Doctorate (2011) and MSc (2005) in Chemistry from Selçuk University, Turkey.

• PhD: Chemistry, Selçuk University (2006-2011)
• MSc: Secondary School Chemistry Teaching, Selçuk University (2001-2005)
• BSc: Chemistry Teaching, Selçuk University (1997-2001)

His research focuses on chemical sensing, asymmetric catalysis, and nanomaterials for biofilm inhibition. He has developed calixarene-based chemosensors for anion detection and triazine derivatives for enantiomeric recognition. His work spans Langmuir-Blodgett thin films, fluorescent probes, and environmental remediation via ion extraction.

The 15 most recent publications highlight trends in chemical sensor development, chiral compound synthesis, and vapor sensing using calixarene and triazine scaffolds. Key subfields include biofilm inhibition, metal ion detection, asymmetric catalysis, and environmental applications of supramolecular chemistry.

Bozkurt has supervised multiple research projects funded by TÜBİTAK and higher education institutions, including work on graphene thin films, oleuropein effects in cancer therapy, and chemical sensor fabrication. His managerial roles include Director of Scientific Analysis and Technological Application and Research Center (2015-2023) and Head of Department at Uşak University (2013-2015).
