Translational nanoplasmonics and biosensing platform

Nanoplasmonics for Biosensing, Spectroscopy and Intelligent Sensing

Nanosolar Plasmonics develops nanophotonic materials, plasmonic metasurfaces, and intelligent sensing platforms for biosensing, spectroscopy, sustainable agriculture, and wearable biointerfaces.

Led by Hasan Kurt, Associate Professor at Istanbul Medipol University, the platform combines nanoplasmonics, advanced materials, biosensing, Raman/SERS, and data-driven sensing to build technologies that move from laboratory research toward real-world use.

About

Academic depth with translational intent

Hasan Kurt works at the intersection of nanoplasmonics, biosensing, advanced materials, and intelligent sensing systems. His work spans nanoplasmonic biosensors, metal-insulator-metal sensing architectures, Raman and SERS platforms, titanium nitride and hafnium nitride plasmonic materials, AI-enabled sensing, and wearable biointerfaces. Through both academic and translational activities, his goal is to develop sensing technologies that combine strong physical performance with realistic pathways toward clinical, environmental, and agri-food deployment. Previously, he was a UKRI MSCA Research Fellow at Imperial College London.
