With his main research area of nanobioelectronics and nanorobotics, he has made important pioneering contributions to the development of many different application areas such as nanomotors, nanorobotics and nanoactuators, nano-scale barcodes, nanomedicine, wearable body sensors and biofuel cells, bionanomaterials, glucose biosensors. Dr. Wang has over 1200 research articles published in international indexed journals and according to Google Scholar, the h-index is 187 (140,000 citations), and according to Web of Science, the h-index is 152 (100,000 citations). Prof. Wang has supervised 40 PhD students, over 350 researchers and visiting students so far. His successful work has led him to win awards from many different countries. Since 1990s, a total of 12 scientists, nine of whom are post-doctoral researchers and three of whom are doctoral students, from Turkey, involved in various research projects under the mentorship of Wang and brought the developments in these current fields to our country. Prof. Wang was awarded the TÜBA Science Award in 2022 for his original, pioneering and groundbreaking research in basic and engineering sciences due to inventions that have strong and widespread worldwide impact on biosensors, nanobioelectronics, wearable sensors, micro-robotics and nanomotors that push the boundaries of health systems.

Prof. Dr. Amnon Cohen; he was born in 1936 in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Having completed his undergraduate, graduate and doctoral studies at the Hebrew University of Israel. He served as the head of the department and also served as the director of the Truman Institute, which was established in 1965 with the aim of promoting peace between Israel's Arab and Jewish communities. He has been a visiting scholar at the world's leading universities in Middle East studies such as York University, Princeton University, and Oxford University; He gave lectures, participated in joint working groups, seminars and conferences. CIEPO (Comité), which has created an effective discussion and sharing platform with international symposiums on pre-Ottoman and Ottoman period research. International des studies pré-ottomanes et ottomanes) was on the board of directors. He was elected as an Honorary Member of the Turkish Historical Society in 2013. Prof. Cohen conducts his studies on Ottoman and Middle Eastern history in general, and on the history of Palestine and Jerusalem in particular.
