Biography
Osman Adiguzel graduated from the Department of Physics, Ankara University, Turkey in 1974 and received a Ph.D.- degree from Dicle University, Diyarbakir-Turkey in Solid State Physics. He studied at Surrey University, Guildford, UK, as a post-doctoral research scientist from 1986-1987, and his studies focused on shape memory alloys. He worked as a research assistant, from 1975-80, at Dicle University, Diyarbakir, Turkey. He shifted to Firat University in 1980 and became a professor in 1996, and He has already been working as a professor. He published over 50 papers in international and national journals; He joined over 100 conferences and symposia at the international and national levels as a participant, invited speaker, or keynote speaker with contributions of oral or poster. He served as the program chair or conference chair/co-chair in some of these activities. In particular, he joined in the last three years (2014 - 2016) over 20 conferences as Keynote Speaker and Conference Co-Chair organized by the South Asian Institute of Science and Engineering (SAISE), and other institutes and companies. He joined as Keynote Speaker and Conference Co-Chair at 6 conferences held in the first half of 2017. Dr. Adiguzel served as his directorate of the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences, Firat University from 1999-2004. He supervised 5 Ph.D.- theses and 3 M.Sc theses. He is also a Technical committee member of many conferences. He received a certificate which is being awarded to him and his experimental group in recognition of the significant contribution of 2 patterns to the Powder Diffraction File – Release 2000. The ICDD (International Centre for Diffraction Data) also appreciates the cooperation of his group and interest in the Powder Diffraction File.
