Erşed Akyüz
Biophysics researcher at Izmir Institute of Technology, and one of the people building Zeroponics.
I work where life sciences meet technology. In the lab I study biology with light, from protein stability to dialysis monitoring. Outside it I build automated systems that grow plants without soil.
