CURRICULUM VITAE

BIOGRAPHY Mehmet Bayindir received his B.S., M. S., and Ph.D. degrees in physics from Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey in 1995, 1997, and 2002, respectively. During his M. S. thesis work, he focused on several problems in theoretical condensed physics such as impurity effects in high-temperature superconductivity, localization in quantum Hall systems, persistent current in mesoscopic rings, and Bose-Einstein condensation in low-dimensional systems. He and his co-worker predicted the possibility of two-dimensoinal BEC in interacting, trapped Bose gases. Dr. Bayindir’s Ph. D. thesis concentrated on the physics and applications of photonic band gap materials. His pioneering work on coupled-cavity structures in photonic crystals has drawn a considerable amount of interest in recent years (cited over 500 times in citation-index journals). Currently, as a research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he is working on the design, fabrication, and characterization of various types of fibers, made of conducting, semiconducting and insulating materials in intimate contact and in a variety of geometries, that will pave the way for the future development of fibers, and woven fabrics, with novel optical and electrical properties. He is the author of a book (in Turkish), over 30 citation-index journal papers, and more than 20 refereed conference papers. He also holds 2 patents and 3 patent pending. He serves as a reviewer for several scientific journals including Physical Review Letters, Optics Letters, Physical Review B, Physical Review E, Optics Express, Journal of Optical Society of America B, Physics Letters A, and IEEE Journals. He was the winner of the Optical Society of America's 2001 New Focus Award. He is married to Esra Eren Bayindir (Ph.D. student in Economics, Harvard University).
