CONFERENCES
Presenting the research at the major national and international conferences is among the goals for the research team. Such conferences will provide a venue to present the research conducted throughout the year as well as providing opportunities for creating contacts for the future collaborations. In addition, attending major conferences provide the group a point of reference to check the quality and the relevance of the work conducted within the research group at Bogazici University. Such conferences also provide an additional motivation to conduct research in a timely manner, as such conferences provide incentive due to the excitement about traveling to the locations the conferences take place. The plan is to attend major conferences most relevant to the research field. In 2013, the research is presented at three different international conferences, one in Turkey and two in the U.S. In 2014, the research was presented at 6 different conferences: three in Turkey, two in Germany and one in the U.S. In 2015, the research conducted at BUSTLab is presented at 7 different conferences: 3 in Turkey, 2 in the U.S., 1 in Japan and 1 in England. In 2016, the research conducted at BUSTLab is presented at 3 different conferences: 1 in Turkey, 1 in the U.S., 1 in Italy. In 2017, the research conducted at BUSTLab is presented at 4 different conferences: 1 in Turkey, 2 in the U.S. and 1 in Switzerland.
