Biographical Sketch: Dr. Bozlar is a materials scientist with broad expertise in the field of polymer composites reinforced with carbonaceous fillers. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science jointly from Ecole Centrale Paris and Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan (France) in 2009. In the frame work of his thesis research, Dr. Bozlar primarily worked on the development of multifunctional polymer composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes. His research experience includes the design of methods for the synthesis and the characterization of polymer composites, which have enhanced thermal and electrical transport characteristics combined with excellent mechanical properties. In February 2010, Dr. Bozlar was appointed as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the group Prof. Ilhan Aksay at Princeton University. During his postdoctoral appointment, Dr. Bozlar was involved in a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) for the development of adaptive materials. His main research interests focused on the design and characterization of elastomers reinforced with graphene fillers. Beyond his expertise in processing of polymer composites, Dr. Bozlar is an expert in the characterization of materials, including: mechanical testing, electrical transport, electron microscopy. In April 2013, Dr. Bozlar joined Vorbeck Materials Corporation to bring his expertise in the field of polymer composites in order to develop soft polymer materials for various industrial applications.
