The Turkish Academy of Sciences (TÜBA) University Conferences, which aim to promote scientific exchange and raise awareness of thematic scientific topics and current issues at universities, continued with an event held at Hacettepe University. As part of the conference series, which has been running since 2021, Prof. Dr. Yeşim Moğulkoç, a lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering, Ankara University, delivered a presentation titled “New Generation Two-Dimensional Materials” at our university.
Prior to the event, which took place in the Mehmet Akif Ersoy Conference Hall at the Beytepe Campus, our university’s Rector, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Cahit Güran, received Prof. Dr. Yeşim Moğulkoç in his office. The conference, delivered by Prof. Dr. Moğulkoç—whose scientific achievements earned her the 2024 TÜBA-GEBİP Outstanding Young Scientist Award—was attended by our university’s administrators, academics and a large number of students.
