Istanbul Collaborative (IC) is an adhoc research initiative, or thinktank, that emerged with the active contributions of M. P\u0131nar Mengu\u0308c\u0327 from O\u0308zyeg\u0306in University, and Ku\u0308rs\u0327at S\u0327endur and Ali Kos\u0327ar from Sabanc\u0131 University, in early 2009. The main motivation of this initiative has been to explore the problems related to micro and nanoscale heat transfer and to develop solutions and strategies in key areas such as energy transition, information technologies, defense industry, sensor technologies, advanced material technologies, in Turkey and elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Later, Hakan Ertu\u0308rk from Bog\u0306azic\u0327i University and Tuba Okutucu-O\u0308zyurt from METU (now at ITU) joined to IC and have contributed to our interdisciplinary research activities on multi university platforms. Vincent Loke, who started working with Mengu\u0308c\u0327 in 2010 at O\u0308zyeg\u0306in University has also heavily contributed to these studies during his 1.5 years in Istanbul. Another researcher who was involved in IC was Azadeh Didadri who received her PhD from OzU in 2017.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Istanbul Collaborative was a bottomup and voluntary initiative and has played significant role in the implementation of many important research activities in Turkey over the past 12 years. The work of this group has started with the EU Marie Curie<\/a> and TUBITAK 1001<\/a> projects that Mengu\u0308c\u0327 received in 2009. Ku\u0308rs\u0327at S\u0327endur, Ali Kos\u0327ar and M. P\u0131nar Mengu\u0308c\u0327 have received two other projects from Bosch Siemens. Later, Tuba Okutucu O\u0308zyurt and Mengu\u0308c\u0327 have received a second TUBITAK 1001<\/a> project on nearfield radiation transfer and completed it in 2018.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

As a result of the research conducted under the umbrella of Istanbul Collaborative, more than 35 peerreviewed international journal articles were published, dozens of conference presentations were made, and 2 international patents were granted. These patents are based on the joint resear ch by Ali Kos\u0327ar, Kursat Sendur, and Menguc. The first of these patents was received the second prize in the \u201cY\u0131ld\u0131zl\u0131 Patentler\u201d competition held at Y\u0131ld\u0131z Technical University in 2014. The second one won the Silver Medal given by the Ministry of Industry and Technology in 2019. This second patent, titled \u201cFlow System For Avoiding Particle Agglomeration was listed as a triadic patent, as It was accepted by the American Patent and Trademark Office (US10837604B2), after being approved by Japan Patent Office (JP6559363B2) and European Patent Office (EP3365627 (B1)). There are less than 20 triadic patents in Turkey and fort hat reason they are considered very prestigious. This patent aims to provide an innovative solution for the problem of particle agglomeration, and it could pave way for implementations of nanoparticles to various in dustrial applications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Many scientific meetings were held by the Istanbul Collaborative over the years. One of the most important of these meetings was the \u201cMicro and Nanoscale Heat Transfer\u201d Workshop organized under the leadership of Ali Kos\u0327ar in July 2014, with M. P\u0131nar Mengu\u0308c\u0327 and Ku\u0308rs\u0327at S\u0327endur as invited speakers. In addition to these activities and research outputs, the partnerships realized under the Istanbul Collaborative umbrella also played an important role in training qualified researchers. As a result of these partnerships, several students who received their master\u2019s and doctorate degrees at joint collaboration between O\u0308zyeg\u0306in University (OzU), Sabanc\u0131 University (SU), Bog\u0306azic\u0327i University (BU) and Middle East Technical University (METU) have developed significantly broader interdisciplinary research perspectives.<\/p>

Several of these students are now working as researchers in various countries. They can be listed as: Ru\u0308s\u0327tu\u0308 Umut Tok (from SU) at the USA University of California, Los Angeles; Refet Ali Yalc\u0327\u0131n (from BU) at the Universite\u0301 de Poitiers in France; Erdem O\u0308g\u0306u\u0308t (from SU) at Germany Friedrich Schiller University Jena; Muhsincan S\u0327es\u0327en (from SU) at Imperial College; Azadeh Didari (from OzU) at Hanbat National University in South Korea; Muhammad Ali Kec\u0327ebas\u0327 (SU) at Pennsylvania State University, USA; and Farhad Kazemi (from BUOzU) at Ford Otosan Turkey. Moreover, Elif Begu\u0308m Elc\u0327iog\u0306lu (from METU-OzU) works as a faculty member at Es\u0327kis\u0327ehir Technical University and Laythy Al Gebory (from OzU) in Iraq Baghdad University. In addition, students who contributed to IC on graduate level continue with their careers as follows: Kurt Webb (from OzU-BU) in the USA; Sina Request Moghaddam (from BU-OzU) in Canada; Zahra Fath (from OzU-BU) in the Netherlands, and Zafer Artvin, (from METU-OzU) in Ankara, and Dilan Avs\u0327ar (from BU-OzU) in Bog\u0306azic\u0327i University, Istanbul.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
