Hello! I am
Erşed Akyüz
As a graduate physics student at İzmir Institute of Technology, I combine a deep curiosity for science with an entrepreneurial mindset to create real-world impact.
At the Biophysics Lab, I conduct research within the prestigious TÜBİTAK 1004 Program, developing advanced IR spectroscopy technologies with quantum cascade lasers (QCL) for cutting-edge medical applications.
Looking ahead, I aspire to bridge science and entrepreneurship by leading interdisciplinary projects that drive technological innovation and improve lives!
Research Experience
Biophysics & Photonics
Currently, my research integrates spectroscopy (FT-IR, Raman) and quantum cascade laser technologies to advance biomedical diagnostics.
-> FT-IR, Raman, UV/Vis, Fluorescence Spectroscopies -> QCL-based optical setup development -> Protein Dynamics -> Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Photoacoustics
Exploring life’s complex tapestry, options reveal routes to the exceptional, requiring innovation, inquisitiveness, and bravery for a deeply satisfying voyage.
Thin Films
Using magnetron sputtering techniques in a controlled vacuum environment, I worked on coating substrates with thin films of materials such as Au, ITO, and Al. These coatings are essential for applications in optics, electronics, and sensor technologies.

The Art of Growing Things
Nature doesn’t rush, yet everything gets done. In the quiet rhythm of plants, I find something familiar—growth without noise, beauty without urgency.
Wings & Whispers of Sky
Stories from above the clouds—where my heart lifts and the horizon calls. The sky reminds me that movement doesn’t always mean noise—that clarity often comes when we rise above it all.
