Sabancı University Nanotechnology Research and Application Center researchers were selected to be supported with two projects within the scope of TÜBİTAK ARDEB 2026 1st term "1001-Scientific and Technological Research Projects Support Program".

In the project entitled "Development of Next-Generation Gradient Anode Catalyst Layers for Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers" from SUNUM Dr. Begüm Yarar Kaplan;

In the project entitled "Microfabrication, manipulation and validation of stress-bent MEMS structures," Dr. İzzet Yıldız are the principal investigators.

The 1001 projects funded by other institutions in which we participated as researchers are as follows:

“Development of Next-Generation Layered Proton-Exchange Membranes Containing Recombination Catalyst Layers for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Water Electrolyzers for Green Hydrogen Production”

Principal Investigator: Selmiye Alkan Gürsel (SU), Researcher: Begüm Yarar Kaplan (SUNUM)

“Exploration of single-crystal epitaxial silicon germanium (Si1-xGex) as a low-cost CMOS-compatible piezoresistive material with high GF/TCR ratio towards the development of MEMS-based pressure sensors for sub-zero Celcius (°C) aerospace environments”

Principal Investigator: Aamenah Sıddıqui (SU), Researcher: Muhammed Umar (SUNUM)

“Evaluation of the Antifouling Performance of Parametrically Optimized Biomimetic Nano-Topographic Sealant Surfaces for Aircraft Fuel Tank Applications”

Principal Investigator: Ümit Çelik (Fırat University), Researcher: Süleyman Çelik (SUNUM)

Congratulations to our researchers, and we wish every success for the project.
