denizsun@gmail.com	Researcher Says, I graduated from Chemical Engineering Department of Yildiz Technical University in 2007 and received M.Sc. degree from Chemistry Department of Istanbul Technical University in 2010 under the supervision of Prof. Niyazi Bicak. I have mainly focused on organic synthesis via boron esters and functional polymers. I have 5 original research papers. I like swimming, watching Fringe, science fiction tv series and doing chemistry and also interested in NBA basketball and support Fenerbahce football team in Turkey. Research Area: Organic synthesis via boron esters, poly(p-phenylene methylene) functional monomers and polymers and controlled/living radical polymerization.
