Biography

N. Pelin Ayerden received her BS degree from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey, in 2009, and her MS degree from Koc University, Istanbul, Turkey, in 2012, both in electrical and electronics engineering. During her Master's, she worked on developing a MEMS based FTIR spectrometer in the EU funded project, MEMFIS.

She received her PhD degree at TU Delft in the Netherlands in 2016, where she worked on an STW funded project that aims to design a CMOS compatible microsystem for natural gas analysis.
