As a scientist, I am very glad to say that KAUST is the best place to develop research ideas and have interaction with the best researchers in the area of biosensing.

Tutku Beduk is currently a PhD student at the Sensors Lab, in the Material Science and Engineering Department, MSE, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). 

Education and Early Career

Tutku Bedük received her bachelor degree from Middle East Technical University in Chemistry with a High Honor Degree, Turkey in 2016. She also competed her MSc degree in Bilkent University in the field of Chemistry, Turkey in 2018. She is currently a PhD candidate in the Sensor Lab Group under the direction of Prof. Khaled Nabil Salama at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.

Research Interests

Tutku`s professional interests focus on fabrication of non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors and optimization of the sensing performance following the nanoparticle deposition onto electrode surface.
