Professor Demir receives JCI Young Outstanding Persons Award in Scientific Leadership.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Hilmi Volkan Demir, of Bilkent University’s Physics Department and Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department, receives the JCI Young Outstanding Persons Award in Scientific Leadership. Junior Chamber International (JCI) is a worldwide federation of young entrepreneurs and leaders. JCI was established in 1910 by Henry Giessenbier in the USA and continues to be the most prominent network of young leaders and entrepreneurs with 124 countries participating from around the globe. Hilmi Volkan Demir was recommended as one of JCI Turkey’s candidates for The Young Outstanding Persons (TOYP) Competition. The recommendation for the award was based on his research work in the Turkish National Academy of Sciences Distinguished Young Scientist Award Program. The independent TOYP Science Jury selected Dr. Demir for his research group’s work on the invention and demonstration of new optoelectronic quantum devices and granted Dr. Demir First Prize in Scientific Leadership. Dr. Demir’s research group is working on the development of novel nanophotonic devices and sensors at Bilkent University’s Nanotechnology Research Center and Advanced Research Laboratory. The prizes were presented with the participation of national and international guests and the press at the JCI Turkey Award Ceremony held on September 22, 2006.
