Tutku Bedük, Scientist for Advanced Sensors and Electronics Technologies, joined SAL two years ago. She is originally from Turkey where she finished her bachelor’s and master’s degree in chemistry. Afterwards, Tutku transferred to KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) in Saudia Arabia where she got her PhD in Materials Science and Engineering. In this position, she worked on sensors for medical applications during the COVID-19 pandemic, developing prototypes of devices to detect COVID-19 and working together closely with patients. This is also where Tutku met Jürgen Kosel – SAL’s Head of Sensor Systems – who invited her to use and expand her knowledge at SAL!
