My research has always centered on the field of health using two independent directions:
Prevention through developing new Machine Learning models to protect the environment.
Treatment by developing new technologies for new drugs or diagnostic/therapeutic medical devices.
- Corporate Carbon Footprint:
For my master’s thesis, I researched corporate carbon footprint using panel data analysis. Corporate carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases released by the actions of corporations. As greenhouse gas emissions increase, glaciers melt, sea levels rise, water resources are reduced, and global warming is caused. It is the first study to include companies from North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The objective of this study is to estimate the CO2 emissions of global companies in 2017, 2018, and 2019 to determine their economic damages. It is also possible to estimate the carbon footprint for the next few years.
Working on a new generation of wearable medical devices in a digital health analytics project would be helpful and amazing research. Through these devices, we develop and/or improve multiple wearable medical devices that monitor gait and physical activity, and sleep with prevention value. Patients with Parkinson’s disease can use this device at home to determine their drug dosage and disease status. Currently, Parkinson’s patients must visit medical centers in person to monitor the effectiveness of their medications, and there are few specialists in this field and no advanced equipment, so the work is done slowly. Furthermore, many people can’t afford the monitoring costs. Through Wi-Fi, our device records the patient’s movement information and sends it to the patient’s medical file. In this way, monitoring costs are greatly reduced, the patient doesn’t have to visit, and everything is monitored remotely.
Lasers’ thermal effects on nonlinear crystals were our focus in nonlinear optics. Nonlinear crystals make laser production much more efficient and cheaper than previous methods. The problem is that the nonlinear crystal burns when it absorbs the laser light, causing its temperature to rise too high. In identifying the mechanism of heat generation and propagation in nonlinear crystals, we assist the manufacturers of these lasers in preventing premature burning, thus reducing the maintenance costs significantly. There are a variety of applications for these lasers in industry, such as medicine, diagnosis, and air pollution evaluation.
- Treatment Impact: (in medical lasers)
By using lasers properly, surgeons can achieve more complex tasks, reduce blood loss, decrease postoperative discomfort, reduce the risk of wound infection, and improve wound healing..
- Environmental conservation: (in air pollution monitoring lasers)
The Rayleigh scattering laser radiation is elastically scattered from atoms or molecules without changing its frequency. Pollutants are measured using a variety of remote-sensing instruments.
We have focused on recognizing the optical properties of the most widely used quantum dots (GaN/AlN and InAs/GaAs). The results of our research help manufacturers of new-generation solar cells and personalized medicines produce more efficient products. Any substance can be used if its physical properties are known, and in the case of quantum dots, their optical properties are most important. In production, their interaction with electromagnetic waves can be exploited after learning their optical properties.
Treatment Impact:
Quantum dots have unique photophysical properties that make them ideally suited for use in personalized medicine. Multicolor QD probes (A) and particle size-dependent emission colors allow multiplexed biomarker detection. Multiple biomarkers can be simultaneously visualized for molecular profiling of diseases due to narrow emission spectra (B) and efficient light absorption throughout a wide range.
- Application in Environment:
Environmental Conservation: (in solar cells)
By generating more than one bound electron-hole pair per incoming photon, quantum dots can increase the efficiency of converting sunlight into energy dramatically – perhaps even doubling it in some devices.
- Properties of the Copper Surface:
My first project was a study on the properties of the Copper surface. Medical devices coated with copper have an antibacterial surface. Copper metal makes bacteria unable to survive for long, breaking down at the cellular level before they can cause infection. So, we examined the properties of the Copper surface in all mechanical and medical aspects
