Dr. Selim Ünlü
Founder, President, & CEO of iRiS Kinetics Inc.
Selim Ünlü received a B.S. degree from the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey, in 1986, and the M.S.E.E. (1988) and Ph.D. (1992) degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, all in electrical engineering. Since 1992, he has been a professor at Boston University. He is currently a Distinguished Professor of Engineering appointed in electrical and computer engineering, biomedical engineering, physics, materials science and engineering, and graduate medical sciences. His research interests are in the areas of nanophotonics and biophotonics focusing on the development of biological detection and imaging techniques, particularly in high-throughput digital biosensors based on the detection of individual biological nanoparticles, viruses, and single molecule counting.
Dr. Ünlü has authored and co-authored >200 journal articles and has over 12,000 citations (h-index of 59); edited one book; and holds 19 US/international patents. In 2021, he was selected as Boston University Innovator of the Year. Dr. Ünlü is a Fellow of IEEE, Optica, and AIMBE. He was awarded the Science Award (2008) by the Turkish Scientific Foundation. He started iRiS Kinetics Inc. in 2019 and currently serves as the President and CEO. Ask me about Biosensors, molecular binding kinetics, and how to transition academic innovations to industry.
