Murat Kabatas, also known as M. A. Basyooni, is a physicist focusing on nanoengineering and advanced materials with an academic and industrial research and technological development background. As a postdoctoral researcher, he joined the Dynamics of Micro and Nanosystems (DMN) group, Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME) Department at the Mechanical Engineering (ME) Faculty.

He holds a Ph.D. in Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials, an M.Eng. in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, an M.Sc. in Experimental Physics, and a B.Sc. in Physics. His expertise lies in a wide array of techniques for the deposition of thin films involving various 2D oxides, metal oxides, and 2D transition metal dichalcogenides. This includes mastering atomic layer deposition, thermal evaporation, pulsed laser deposition, DC and RF sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, sol-gel, and spray methods. His extensive research portfolio showcases his proficiency across diverse applications like gas sensors, Enose sensors, photodetectors, nonlinear optoelectronics, UV photonics, thermochromic technologies, VO₂ phase transition devices, BaTiO₃ devices, photonic crystals, phononic crystals, negative photoconductive devices, optics, and ultrathin plasmonics.

Currently, focusing on “Inkjet Functionalization of Pixelated CMOS Capacitor Sensor Array for Selective Gas Detection” by using a PIXDRO inkjet printer for the on-chip deposition of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), polymers, and nanoparticles for highly selective volatile organic compound (VOC)-based Electronic Nose (eNose) sensors. This research highlights the potential of inkjet printing technology in developing next-generation printable eNose VOC sensors that combine high performance, cost-effectiveness, and ease of integration, making them ideal for widespread environmental sensing applications.
