TURKISH SCIENTISTS WIN EU'S BEST STUDENT INNOVATION AWARD
ANKARA (A.A.) - 04.05.2010 - Two Turkish scientists won "best student innovation award" of the EU's Photonics21.
Academician Hilmi Volkan Demir and doctorate student Sedat Nizamoglu from Turkey's Bilkent University won the award of European Technology Platform Photonics21.
Demir and Nizamoglu won the award with their research, "White light Generation Using CdSe/ZnS Core-Shell Nanocrystals Hybridized with InGaN/GaN Light Emitting Diodes".
The research concentrates on the development and demonstration of a new class of white light emitting diodes integrated with nanophosphors of semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots for efficient high-quality lighting. They have a high potential for use in future high-quality solid-state lighting and displays.
Photonics21 is a voluntary association of industrial enterprises and other stakeholders in the field of photonics in Europe. It unites the majority of the leading Photonics industries and relevant R&D stakeholders along the whole economic value chain throughout Europe. It has members more than 1,400 stakeholders who come from 49 countries.
The Photonics21 Student Innovation Award 2010 is sponsored by Thales, SPIE Europe and the European project Accord.
The award committee has been set up by nine European photonic experts who are members of the seven Photonics21 work groups and who are elected for a term of three years which started in 2009.
