Prof. Dr. Mehmet Burçin Ünlü received his BSc and MSc degrees in Physics from Middle East Technical University (METU) in 1996 and Boğaziçi University in 1998, respectively. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Stevens Institute of Technology in 2004. He then worked as a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of California, Irvine in the Tu & Yuen Functional Onco-Imaging lab (Department of Radiological Sciences, School of Medicine) for five years. During his postdoctoral studies, he focused on medical imaging and medical physics. Between 2009-2023, he was a faculty member in the Physics Department at Boğaziçi University, serving as department head from 2018-2020 and 2022-2023.
In 2017-2018, he worked at the Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Biomedical Physics at Stanford University for one year with the support of a Fulbright scholarship. Additionally, he spent 6 months at the Hokkaido University School of Medicine working on proton therapy research. He maintains an ongoing collaboration with the Hokkaido University Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Medicine.
In 2023, Dr. Ünlü relocated the Laboratory of Medical and Biological Physics from Boğaziçi University, which he founded in 2012, to the Faculty of Engineering at Özyeğin University.
His areas of expertise include medical and biomedical physics, medical imaging, image formation algorithms, biological physics, and computational cancer biology.
