Dr. Cansu Börüban Bingöl

I completed my undergraduate degree in Chemistry at Middle East Technical University (ODTÜ) in 2013, and my Master’s degree in the same department in 2016. Throughout my education, I focused extensively on polymer chemistry and carbon dioxide capture technology. Additionally, from 2011 to 2013, I worked in the polymer chemistry laboratory at ODTÜ on the project titled "Synthesis and Applications of Light-Sensitive Polymers," further strengthening my experience in the field of polymer chemistry.

My Master’s research was centered on carbon dioxide capture and storage systems, utilizing supports decorated with copper oxide nanoparticles. During my Master's work, I also filed a patent application for the CO2 adsorption system I developed.

From 2014 to 2016, I worked at Kare Engineering, gaining experience in incentives, patents, and utility model applications. I also managed projects while applying for grants from TÜBİTAK and KOSGEP, including projects on "Synthesis of Iron-EDTA Fertilizer from Smelting Furnace Slag and Drinking Water Production from Waste Water." One of these projects, "Drinking Water Production from Waste Water," was accepted into the Global Cleantech Innovation Programme by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and became a semi-finalist.

In September 2016, I began my career at Brisa as a materials development specialist. After almost 8 years of experience in material development, I continue my career at Brisa as the R&D Coordination and Intellectual Property Rights Specialist as of August 2024. In February 2025, I completed my doctoral thesis at Kocaeli University in Metallurgical Materials Engineering, titled "Investigation of the Use of Environmentally Friendly Composite Zinc Oxide Materials in Rubber Compunds," and get my doctoral degree.
