Seyhan Salman, Assistant Professor
Background: Education and Professional Affiliation:
Dr. Salman received her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2009. Her research focus is on the theoretical characterization of organic semiconductors for plastic electronics. She did conduct postdoctoral research at the University of Bordeaux, France where she worked on the interfacial electronic processes in organic electronic devices. She joined Istanbul Bilgi University Department of Bioengineering in 2011 as an Assistant Professor. She served at the Faculty Executive Board and was the Department Chair where she developed new instructional and research labs, undergraduate curriculum, new courses, collaborations with academia and industry as well as internship opportunities and programs to support student mobility. Her research appeared as peer-reviewed publications in high impact-factor journals such as Journal of the American Chemical Society and Chemistry of Materials. She received several awards by the Paris/Seine initiative for excellence in research since 2015. Prior to joining Clark Atlanta University in Fall 2019, Dr. Salman taught at undergraduate programs at Georgia State University Perimeter College and Gwinnett Technical College.
Research Interests
Dr. Salman had a wealth of experience on the theoretical modelling of (opto)electronic processes in organic-based electronic devices such as solar cells and light-emitting diodes. She uses a combination of theoretical models and computational approaches by bridging quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, condensed matter and device physics, data science, materials and polymer science to model the electronic and optical processes in the most realistic way.
Teaching
General Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Introduction to Materials Science and Materials Characterization.
