Çiğdem
Bilici received her B.Sc. (2010), M.Sc. (2013), and Ph.D. (2019) degrees
in Chemistry from Istanbul Technical University (ITU). During
her doctoral studies, she focused on shape-memory and smart
hydrogels. Between 2020 and 2023, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher
at Sabancı University, focusing on 3D bioprinting applications of biopolymers
and hydrogels. From September 2024 to September 2025, she served as a Visiting
Scholar at the Terasaki Institute in Los Angeles, USA, where she conducted research
on hydrogels and biomaterials for bioengineering and biomedical applications.
