Research contributions and practical applications

Dr. Yavuz is the editors for, HSOA Journal of Nanotechnology: Nanomedicine & Nanobiotechnology”, Journal of Nanoscience & Technology (Symbiosis), Scholarena Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (SAJNN), OMMEGA Journal of Nanotechnology and Materials Science, and deputy editor-in-chief for Journal of Engineering Science and Technology (JESTECH), Elsevier since 2013.

Dr. Yavuz’s research area is micro and nanoscale materials design, fabrication and characterization, in 4 (four) key applications areas: a. Design, fabrication and characterization of high temperature (high-TC) superconducting composites for superconducting magnets and MR tomography; b. Design, fabrication and characterization of high-TC superconductors for Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUID) for bio-sensing/marking, and Qubits (Quantum Bits) for quantum information storage; c. Design, fabrication and characterization of nano-building-blocks for nano- and micro-electro-mechanical systems (N/MEMS) for photonic applications used in ultrafast electronics and biosensing, and d. Packaging (nanoand micro-bonding), integration and reliability of N/MEMS devices and interconnects.

Dr. Yavuz received the British Council Partnerships for Excellence Postdoctoral Bursary International Award in 1997 for his work on high-TC superconductors. He received the Japanese Society for the Promotion and Science (JSPS) Fellowship in 2006, 2007 and 2008; and was awarded US Pi-Tau-Sigma, National Mechanical Engineering Honor Society Award in 2003. He was one of the founding members of the Texas A&M University Interdisciplinary Graduate Materials Science and Engineering Program established in 2003, and Nanotechnology Collaborative Graduate Program at the University of Waterloo. Mustafa Yavuz, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015.

He is currently the director of the Nano/Micro-Systems Research Lab supported by Canada Funding for innovation (CFI) since 1995.

He is cited as one of the most prominent nano-researchers in Canada by the Ontario Provincial Government, and was invited in 2007 and 2009 by the Canadian Ambassador for Japan as one of the Canadian Delegation to promote Canadian nanotechnology research in Tokyo, Japan

Most Significant Contributions to Research and/or to Practical Applications

Developed a production tool that can be used to create templates for nano-electronics. This has been enabling the fabrication of radically new devices and materials such as quantum computers. He has developed the idea that vortices (nanoscale non-superconducting domains in a superconducting matrix) in these templates can be engineered to make for self-assembly manufacture of magnetic particles into new nano-structured materials and nano-scale electronic devices such as bio-SQUIDs and Qubits (US Patent, M. Yavuz et al, “Method and System for Storing Information Using Nano-Pinned Dipole Magnetic Vortices in Superconducting Materials, https://www.google.com/patents/US67877980).
Pioneered developing smart magnetic thin films for the levitation of N/MEMS (flying MEMS). His contribution in this research is in developing design and fabrication of magnetic thin films and MEMS gripper materials using ferromagnetic thin films for the magnetic levitation (US Patent Application, MEMS Magnetic Levitation, Application No: 60/847934, Sept 29, 2006.
Developed graphene based NEMS devices interconnection packaging, metrology and integrating them into MEMS and conventional CMOS systems.(http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?reload=true&arnumber=6968079).
