About

Dr. Yağmur Güner is an experimental materials scientist working at the intersection of electrochemical energy materials and biomedical surface engineering. Her research spans the mechanochemical synthesis of bioactive powder compositions and their translation into durable, bioactive coatings for implant surfaces, as well as the synthesis and electrochemical characterization of heteroatom-doped carbon anode materials. She combines hands-on process development—mechanochemistry, electrochemical processing, and plasma/electrostatic spraying—with multiscale characterization and testing (SEM, XRD, electrochemical testing, adhesion and mechanical testing) to evaluate performance in both battery systems and implant surface applications.
