                        Radiation Laboratory at
                        EECS. During her PhD, she worked on extending topology optimization design methods to high frequency electromagnetic applications and the design, analysis and characterization of artificially engineered materials for Radio
                        Frequency (RF) applications.
                        
                        
 In May 2003, she completed her PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering at the
                        University of Michigan. 
                      After completion of her
                        Ph.D, she worked as a Post Doctoral Researcher at both the
                        
                          ElectroScience Laboratory at
                          The Ohio State University and the
                        University of Michigan until September 2005. She also coordinated with the Ceramic Research Group at the
                        University of Michigan on the advanced fabrication of dielectric composites.
                        
                        
 She is currently an Associate Professor at the
                        Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at
                        
                          Sabancı University,
                        Turkey. Her current research interests are design and fabrication of complex engineering systems such as miniaturized mechanical, electromechanical and biomedical devices.
