Biography
Ipek Akin received her Ph.D. from Istanbul Technical University in 2010 with a thesis entitled “Production and Characterization of ZrB2 Based Composites Prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS)”. During her doctoral research, she joined Prof.Dr.Takashi Goto’s group at Tohoku University for six months.
She graduated from Anadolu University in 2003 with a BSc in Materials Science and Engineering and Istanbul Technical University in 2005 with an MSc in Ceramic Science and Engineering. She performed a postdoctoral research in University of Sheffield in Electroceramics Laboratory.
Research interests can be listed as follows;
1) Processing techniques include sintering and spark plasma sintering (experienced in using different SPS systems; 7.40 MK VII, SPS Syntex Inc. (ITU), SPS 210LX, SPS Syntex Inc. (Tohoku University), HPD-25/1 FCT Systeme GmbH (University of Sheffield)
2) Production and characterization of ultra-high temperature ceramic composites (UHTC such as ZrB2, TiB2, NbB2, SiC, ZrC)
3) CNT and graphene-reinforced UHTC
3) Bioactive (Bioglass, HA) and bioinert ceramics (Al2O3-YSZ binary and Al2O3-YSZ-CNT/CeO2/TiO2ternary composites)
4) Machinable glass-ceramics (K-mica based materials with different nucleating agents)
