Dr. Hüseyin Üvet, Yildiz Technical University, Turkey
Dr. Uvet holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering from Kultur University which he acquired in 2004. Upon completing his undergraduate studies he started his master’s degree at Osaka University, Japan in System Engineering. Following his master’s studies on “Compact Vision System Design for Single Cell Analysis and Manipulation” at the Robotic Technologies Lab, he started his doctorate on “Micro/Nano Robotics” at the very same Robotic Technologies Lab of Osaka University, Japan. In 2010, he continued his researches in Nagoya University, Micro-Nano System Engineering Department as a post-doctoral fellow. During this period, he worked on robotic micromanipulation, microassembly, MEMS (sensors and actuators), mechanical manipulation of biological cells and tissue using microfluidics devices.At the start of his academic studies as an undergraduate student, Dr. Uvet academic quest for excellence was awarded full scholarship by the “Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO) and The Japan Ministry of Education (MEXT)” agency to cover his master’s and doctorate studies between 2005 and 2010. He received Best Conference Paper Award 2009 - ROBIO 2009 (IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics) for the paper entitled “Automatic Single Cell Transfer Module”. Starting October 17, 2011, Dr. Uvet, has been appointed at the Department of Mechatronics Engineering at Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey.
