The project titled "Development of Novel Composite Structures Modified with Graphene Oxide and Investigation of Their Chemosensor Properties," prepared by our university's faculty member, Lecturer Dr. Merve Zurnacı, has been awarded support under the TÜBİTAK 1002 – Fast Support Program.

The project aims to synthesize new composite structures modified with graphene oxide and to thoroughly examine the chemosensor properties of these structures. In this direction, the development of innovative graphene oxide-based composite materials will enable the design of chemosensors that operate with high sensitivity and selectivity. The project is expected to make significant scientific contributions in the fields of sensor technologies and advanced materials development. 

In the 12-month project, Prof. Dr. Mahmut Gür will serve as an advisor, while an undergraduate student will participate as a scholarship recipient.  

Commenting on the issue, our Rector, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Topal, expressed his satisfaction that the high-quality research conducted at the university has been recognized within the scope of national support programs. 

Our Rector stated, "The contribution of our academics to the world of science with original and innovative projects is a concrete demonstration of our University's research-focused vision.
