The American bass-baritone, Kamil L. Ekinci, obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering as well as his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Boğaziçi University (1988-1992); his Master of Science degree in Physics (1992-1994) and his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Physics (1994-1999; Dissertation Title: Morphology studies of quench condensed metal and superconducting films by scanning tunneling microscopy and transport measurements) from Brown University.
Kamil Ekinci was Postdoctoral Scholar at California Institute of Technology (1999-2002). He has served at Boston University, Mechanical Engineering Dept. as Assistant Professor (2002-2008); Associate Professor (2008-2014); and Professor of Mechanical Engineering (since 2015). His research mainly focuses on physical phenomena at length scales smaller than roughly one micrometer. He is an experimentalist, and he specializes in measuring small mechanical signals and fluctuations. Using these measurements, he has studied nanoscale confinement in fluids, rarefied gas dynamics, and turbulence. More recently, he has started working on various problems in biological science and biotechnology. For instance, he used a micro-opto-fluidic technique to measure the extremely small mechanical distensions and pressures in a microvessel. In another experiment, he used an opto-mechanical measurement technique to detect the tiny mechanical oscillations of bacteria adhered on a surface. He is also motivated to translate my expertise into diagnosis and treatment of diseases. He was also Visiting Fellow at National Institute of Standards and Technology, Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology in Gaithersburg (2008-2009); Visiting Professor at Seoul Naational Univesity in South Korea (October 2016); Lecturer at UNAM Colloquium, Bilknet University, Turkey.
Kamil Ekinci sings with the semi professional choir Cantata Singers. He currently lives in Brookline, Massachusetts/ |
