DEVELOPMENT OF A TEXTILE MATERIAL WITH SENSOR FEATURE TO MEASURE ELONGATION
About Seminar:
Wearable technology, which we are very familiar with, is limited to products such as smart watches and wristbands that are easily reached by the end user. Although this technology has improved, there are still many obstacles to overcome. In this study, it is aimed to produce wearable sensors whose resistance can change using conductive yarns and certain knitting techniques and achieve elongation measurements by means of these sensors.
About Speaker:
Evren Kılınç studied Physics in the Faculty of Science and Letters in Kocaeli University, Kocaeli. Following a post graduation programme in the Physiology department, Health Sciences Institute, Inonu University, Malatya, he obtained his MSc degree. After he accepted as a PhD candidate in a project granted by Netherlands Heart Foundation at the laboratory of Prof .Dr. Hugo ten Cate. In 2007, he started to work as a PhD student at the Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht (CARIM), Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands and received a PhD degree. Dr Kılınç currently works in the department of Biophysics in Acibadem University, Istanbul as an Assistant Professor since september 2012.
During his PhD, he studied the effects of air pollution on blood coagulation, thrombosis and atherosclerosis, and gained experiences in in vitro and animal experimental models to investigate the pathophysiology of these diseases.
Research interests: The role of hemorheological parameters in cardiovascular diseases, the effects of particulate matter found in air pollution on extrinsic and intrinsic blood coagulation and in atherosclerosis, the interactions of blood cells and coagulation proteins and their role in the mechanism of thrombosis. Dr Kılınç is also interested in biomechanical studies and wearable biosensor design.
Expertise in techniques such as; ELISA development and trouble shooting; Calibrated Automated Thrombinoscope (Thrombin generation); blood coagulation assays; Immunohistochemistry; immunofluoresence; Blood cell isolation (particularly monocytes) and cell culturing (THP-1 cells, HUVECs); Isolation and generating blood cell microparticles; Advanced visualization techniques using two photon and confocal microscopy; Experimental animal studies.
