About Us

LATARUM was established as a research center incorporating researchers from various fields of science and engineering with the aim of carrying out research on academic level, as well as, towards industrial applications on laser related areas. LATARUM was initially organized as a research unit in 2004, and than it was reorganized into a research center in 2005 to improve the interdisciplinary character of the unit, to focus the research for industrial applcations, to enhance the collaboration between university and industry and also to increase the number of researchers studying on laser related subjects. The current researchers at LATARUM come from diverse backgrounds from Department of Physics, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Mechanical Engineering. LATARUM is organized into three groups. These are the Electrooptics Group, the Laser Material Processing Group, and the Modelling and Simulation Group.
