Electromagnetics, Nanophotonics, Metasurfaces, Solar Cells, Nanofabrication

Dr. Atilla Ozgur Cakmak got his PhD in 2012 after working on periodic structures in electromagnetics. He then joined Penn State as a Postdoctoral Researcher from 2013 to 2018, where he focused on solar cells and nanofabrication techniques, specifically lithography. He has more than 25 journal articles published in leading journals. Dr. Cakmak got promoted to an Assistant Teaching Professor position in 2018 and offered undergraduate and graduate courses at Penn State on nanotechnology, nanopatterning and nanophotonics. He joined GVSU in 2021. Dr. Cakmak strives to work with interested undergraduate and graduate students for future their careers.
