Esmail Doustkhah received his PhD in 2017. During PhD, he was awarded several prizes, scholarships, and internships, including a visiting research position and an internship at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Japan. In 2018, he was accepted as a post-doctoral researcher at NIMS, working on mesoporous and 2D materials. In late 2019, he was awarded the JSPS fellowship in Japan. From 2022-2023, He was awarded Marie-Curie Horizon-TUBITAK co-funded fellowship and joined Koç University as principal investigator. During this period, he investigated layered titanates' photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic properties with single-atom loading and heterojunction strategies. His current research interests focus on developing new nanoporous and layered materials and studying their (photo)(electro)catalytic features. //////////////////////////////// Awards: 2021-2023-Listed as top 2% researchers in chemistry according to the Standford University Ranking 2021-MRC-Horizon Fellowship at Turkey, Koc University 2020-JSPS fellowship from Japan Society for Promotion of Science at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) //////////////////////////////// Projects: 2024-2026: Machine learning-driven bottom-up design of atomically layered heterostructures for green H2 production (MLALH); Partners: Barcelona Supercomputer Center (Spain), Riken Institue, and Shibaura Institute Technology (Japan), and Istinye University (Turkiye). 2022-2023: Project Title Synthesis of single atom supported mesoporous black layered titania for H2 generation and CO2 fixation, Koç University, Turkey. 2020-2022: Creation of Porous/Black Titania Nanosheet Photocatalyst by Bursting Exfoliation of Layered Titanate, National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Japan.
