From 2022-2023, He was awarded a Marie-Curie Horizon-TUBITAK co-funded fellowship and joined Koç University as principal investigator. During this period, he investigated layered titanates' photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic properties with single-atom loading and heterojunction strategies. His current research interests focus on developing new nanoporous and layered materials and studying their (photo)(electro)catalytic features. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
