Interested in: Call 1: HORIZON-CL5-2025-04-D2-01 Development of Sustainable and Design-to-Cost Batteries with (Energy-)Efficient Manufacturing Processes and Based on Advanced and Safer Material.

Emre Erdem is a professor of experimental physics specializing in spectroscopy and supercapacitors. He earned his B.Sc. from Ankara University in 1998, followed by an M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Leipzig in 2001 and 2006, respectively. After postdoctoral research at the Technical University (TU) of Darmstadt, he led a research group at the University of Freiburg, where he focused on spectroscopic studies of functional nanomaterials and earned his habilitation in 2017. His expertise spans multifrequency EPR, photoluminescence, and impedance spectroscopy, with significant contributions to understanding point defects in semiconductors and piezoelectrics. Prof. Erdem’s recent work centers on 2D materials, sustainable carbon production, and supercapacitor design. He has published over 140 papers and delivered 50+ invited talks. Prof. Erdem is Editor-in-Chief of Experimental Results and Associate Editor for Scientific Reports. Currently, he holds a Mercator Fellowship at the TU Darmstadt and director of Sabancı University's EFSUN research center.
