Burcu Ozden conducts interdisciplinary research in materials science and sustainability. Her interests include studying defects in two-dimensional (2D) materials, exploring their potential in nanoelectronics, and investigating the effects of gamma and proton radiation on these materials for applications in aerospace, medical, and nuclear fields. She is also engaged in developing photoelectrochemical catalysis systems for renewable energy conversion and environmental remediation, with a focus on water splitting and pollutant degradation. Additionally, Ozden explores the properties of Martian soil simulants to support space exploration and the construction of planetary habitats. Her research on exciton-polaritons aims to advance quantum technologies. Furthermore, she is committed to sustainability education, developing innovative curricula and outreach programs to foster environmental stewardship.
