Reference excerpt

Hilmi Volkan Demir is a Turkish scientist, best known for his works on white light generation.

Biography Hilmi Volkan Demir was born on July 4, 1976, in Kars, Turkey. He received his B.Sc. degree in electrical and electronics engineering from Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey, in 1998, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University, California, in 2000 and 2004, respectively. He received his Docent title (Assoc. Prof.) in Optics and Photonics from the Turkish Council of Higher Education in 2007. Since September 2004, he has been working as a faculty member at Bilkent University, where he holds joint appointments at the Department of Physics and at the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. He is the Associate Director of Nanotechnology Research Center. He also serves as a faculty member of the Advanced Research Laboratory and the Institute of Materials Science and Nanotechnology. In August 2009, he was assigned as Nanyang Associate Professor jointly at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Microelectronics Div.) and the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (Physics and Applied Physics Division) at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

Research At Bilkent, he is the principal investigator of the Devices and Sensors Research Group. His current research interests and projects include the development and demonstration of innovative hybrid nanophotonic devices, nanocrystal, metal nanoparticle and nanowire embedded nanodevices, high-performance RF and Optoelectronics sensors, III-nitride optoelectronic devices, white LEDs, and photovoltaic devices. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed research articles in major scientific journals and conferences, presented more than 100 invited lectures, seminars, and conference talks around the world, and has more than 10 patents at various stages of the process. He has an overall h-index of 34 and i10-index of 100, as per Google Scholar.

Awards Dr. Demir is one of the winners of 2007 ESF-EURYI. He is also the recipient of 2008 METU Parlar Young Scientist Award, 2006 TUBA-GEBIP (Turkish National Academy of Sciences Distinguished Young Scientist Award), and 2005 European Union Marie Curie Fellowship Award. He is a member of the professional societies such as the Optical Society, IEEE Photonics Society, IEEE, and SPIE and the alumni associations of Stanford University, Bilkent University, and Ankara Science High School.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hilmi Volkan Demir

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hilmi Volkan Demir claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Hilmi Volkan Demir before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Hilmi Volkan Demir ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Hilmi Volkan Demir

In research: Hilmi Volkan Demir appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Hilmi Volkan Demir in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Hilmi Volkan Demir is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1976 births, Academic staff of Bilkent University, Academic staff of Nanyang Technological University, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hilmi Volkan Demir outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
