Dr. Ömer Burak İstanbullu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical
and Electronics Engineering at Eskişehir Osmangazi University. He received his
undergraduate education in Biomedical Engineering at Erciyes University, where he
conducted research on tumor segmentation from magnetic resonance images. He
completed his Master's studies at Istanbul Technical University and Erciyes
University, focusing on biomaterial–medical imaging device compatibility, and earned
his Ph.D. from Erciyes University with research on improving the biocompatibility of
implantable intravascular biomaterials through biomimetic surface modification.
Dr. Istanbullu's research lies at the intersection of biomaterials, biomedical
imaging, and biomedical electronics. His work focuses on biomimetic surface
engineering, biodegradable and functional biomaterials, conductive coatings, and
advanced material characterization, including mechanical, electrochemical, thermal,
magnetic, and biological analyses. His current research also explores wearable
biomedical technologies, flexible bioelectronics, conductive biomaterials, and
wearable sensing platforms for physiological monitoring and personalized healthcare.
By integrating advanced materials, additive manufacturing, and electronic systems,
he aims to develop intelligent implantable and wearable medical devices with
enhanced functionality, imaging compatibility, and long-term biocompatibility. His
overarching research goal is to advance innovative biomaterials and biomedical
electronic technologies that improve patient safety and contribute to
next-generation diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
