Faculty (1)

|Durdu O. Guney: He is currently an assistant professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan Tech. University, which is located around old copper mines on the beautiful Upper Penninsula of Michigan in the city of Houghton. Before joining Tech, he was a postdoctoral research associate at Ames Laboratory, one of the U.S. Department of Energy's 10 Office of Science national research laboratories. The Lab is operated by Iowa State University for the DOE. He has been working under the supervision of Prof. Costas M. Soukoulis in the Metamaterials group (sometimes called Condensed Matter Physics group) under the Division of Materials Science and Engineering. Prof. Guney received his PhD in Electrical Engineering (Applied Physics) from University of California, San Diego in 2007. San Diego is the hometown of metamaterials and is also considered as the wireless capital of the world. Before he came to that lovely place he received his MS degree in Electronics Engineering and Computer Science from Sabanci University, Turkey and BS in Physics from Bogazici (Bosphorus) University, Turkey.
