I graduated from (Radiology)Vocational High School of Health in 2017. During my two-year internship in the healthcare sector, I gained practical knowledge in areas such as anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and biomedical technologies. In 2019, I completed the English preparatory program at the School of Foreign Languages, Manisa Celal BayarUniversity, and subsequently began my studies in Bioengineering at the Faculty of Engineering. I also enrolled in a double major program in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.Throughout my university years, I took part in various engineering projects, gaining both theoretical and hands-on experience. I presented academic work on topics such as COVID-19 vaccine technologies, atmospheric water harvesting towers, and bioinformatics analysis. As a recipient of the TÜBİTAK 2247-C Internship Researcher Scholarship, I participated in a TÜBİTAK-1002-funded research project focused on developing wound dressing materials from okra mucilage.Inspired by muscle biomechanics, I began designing an electromechanical artificial muscle in 2013. In 2021, I filed a national patent application via my university through the Turkish Patent Office. In 2022, this project won first place in a national competition on biomimetic engineering solutions. It later progressed into an international patent application and was further developed under the TÜBİTAK 2209-B university-industry cooperation program in 2024.The same year, I won the TÜBİTAK 1812 Investment-Based Entrepreneurship Grant and co-founded Vexnor Technology Inc., backed by the Turkey Development Fund and TÜBİTAK BİGG Fund. Our core project also earned first place in a university startup competition. My engineering and entrepreneurial work has primarily focused on developing biomimetic actuator systems for exoskeletons and humanoid robotics.My projects cover end-to-end engineering design, prototyping, and patenting stages. I continue to play an active role in R&D and innovation, particularly in the interface between biomechanics and next-generation wearable robotics.

- Ni-CAT Battery Materials and AI Company — Ni-CAT is working on AI-assisted research and development of next-generation battery materials, which is the key to the transition to battery electric vehicles. Ni-CAT believes that the speed of EV transition is still not enough to prevent global warming and replace carbon-based fuels in near future, and it is not related to money or resources. Webelieve that speeding up EV transition is possible with our novel methodology, which combines three approximation to the solution: our unique AI-assisted materials research, digitalized reactor farm and our novel surfactant-assisted synthesis.As the electrification of the automotive industry expands, we deliver state-of-the-art technologies to meet the industry’s high-quality standards. To help our customers to step up the EV transition, we will be working on our research and development of lower-cost/higher performance, ultra-high energy density battery materials to serve innovative solutions for a brighter future. With our expertise in the application of machine learning in material science, we are developing low cobalt/high nickel lithium cathode materials. Cathode determines the type of a lithium battery and is the limiting factor for nickel-based batteries. Further improvement in battery performance is possible through AI-assisted custom high nickel cathode materials with increased charge rate, charge to discharge ratio, tap density, or any other specifications. By our unique computer-controlled digital reactor farm, we numerize synthesis parameters and output specifications for the machine learning algorithm we have been developing.

- Haofood — The popularity of plant-based meat is rapidly growing in China; in 2020, 39% of the population were attempting to reduce their meat consumption, and 65% of them were willing to try plant-based meat to help them in this. However, many are dissatisfied with the plant-based meat options in China; Haofood’s founders discovered that this was because ofthe tofu-like quality of products currently available in the market. On top of that, often flexitarians and vegetarians struggle with craving comfort foods. Being the most consumed meat in the world, chicken products, such as fried chicken, are a comfort food to and missed by countless first-time vegetarians.Haofood offers a solution to these problems with its realistically textured and healthy plant-based chicken. They are the first company in the world to use peanut protein as their base, taking advantage of its potential for a strong and elastic texture. Led by a founding team of senior professionals from the food industry, who, together, hold a well-rounded skill set ranging from entrepreneurship to food technology, Haofood uses its own proprietary extrusion technology and formulation to create affordable, delicious plant-based chicken made from sustainable, non-GMO peanuts.

Chairman and founder of SanDisk, one of the world’s leading semiconductor nonvolatile memory companies, Dr. Eli Harari is a recognized leader in flash memory. Dr. Harari’s vision for SanDisk has been to create a revolutionary flash memory technology that would enable low-cost solid-state storage to replace chemical film or rotating magnetic diskdrives.In 1988, embryonic flash memory technology was slow, unreliable and expensive. SanDisk pioneered numerous technological breakthroughs, captured in more than 1500 patents, which systematically overcame these limitations, drove costs down and opened new large-scale markets. The flash chip was re-architected and mated with sophisticated controllers that provided reliable high-speed multiple writes, while multi-level cell (MLC) technology and Moore’s Law lowered costs drastically. SanDisk worked with major competitors to create new industry-standard formats such as the PC Card, CompactFlash, Secure Digital (SD) card, Memory Stick, miniSD and microSD.Over the past 20 years, flash products brought about the demise of 35mm film due to digital film cards, eliminated tape and CDs in favor of flash-based MP3 players, replaced floppy disks with USB flash drives and will soon gradually supplant DVDs and hard disk drives with flash solid-state disks. Flash has become pervasive and ubiquitous, enabling content on-the-go any time, anywhere—in consumer electronics, mobile phones and industrial/automotive/medical and military devices.
