Biography
Melikhan Tanyeri has received his PhD in Physics from University of California, Davis, where he developed chemical and biological sensor platforms based on optical resonances in microcavities. He has moved to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for his Postdoctoral training, where he has developed a new class of microfluidic tools for trapping and manipulating micro and nanoscale particles. During 2013-2016, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Istanbul Sehir University in Turkey, where his group was pursuing research at the interface of applied Physics, Engineering and Medical Sciences. He is currently working as a Research Scientist at the Institute of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago, developing tools for single cell analysis towards applications in Immunology. His research interests include optical biosensors, imaging and spectroscopy, molecular and cellular biophysics, microfluidics and bioMEMS.
