Sedat Nizamoglu received his B.S. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) in 2005, and M. S. degree in Physics as a Valedictorian in 2007 at Bilkent University. He pursued his Ph.D. studies in EEE at Bilkent University focusing on novel solid-state lighting technologies with an emphasis on quantum dot (nanophosphors) integrated light-emitting diodes. Immediately after graduation, he continued as a Wellman-Bullock Fellow with a joint affiliation with Harvard Medical School and Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital in USA. He actively engaged in the multidisciplinary research projects integrating biology, medicine and engineering. He worked on new optical and photonic technologies for medicine including biocompatible and bioabsorbable optical implants, biological single cell and biomaterial lasers.

He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Koc University. He received both ERC (European Research Council) Starting and Consolidator Grants. He became the first recipient of Science Diplomacy Award by YÖK (Higher Education Council of Turkey) and his supervised PhD thesis on bioelectronics is selected as the “Doctoral Dissertation of the Year Award in Science and Engineering” by YÖK. He  received MIT Technology Review Innovators Under 35 (Turkey), Aziz Sancar Incentive Award, IEEE Turkey Research Encouragement Award, TUBITAK (Turkish NRF) Incentive Award and TUBA (Turkish Academy of Sciences) Young Scientist Outstanding Achievement Award. He is a senior member of the professional society of Optica (formerly OSA) and he is also serving to the scientific community as a reviewer of Advanced Materials, ACS Nano, ACS Energy Letters, Advanced Optical Materials, etc.

He has published over 180 research articles in major peer-reviewed scientific journals (over 90) and conferences (over 90). He presented over 40 invited talks, lectures and tutorials in prestigious meetings such as MRS Spring Meeting, OSA Advanced Photonics Congress and CIMTEC International Conferences on Modern Materials and Technologies. He is currently holding four patents. His current scientific research interests include bioelectronics, optoelectronics, and nanotechnology.
