Bumin Kagan Yildirim

Research Interests

Bumin worked in the optics and photonics field during his bachelor’s degree. His research focused on designing multilevel diffractive lenses, optical demultiplexer, and optical cloaking via optimization algorithms and inverse design methods in the microwave frequency regime.

His research interest is also related to the device engineering and material characterization of single-junction and perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. His research is mainly directed toward charge transport layers and recombination junctions of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells.
