 Canan Dagdeviren was born on 4th of May, 1985 in Istanbul. She has been fascinated by science ever since she was a child. By the influence of Prof. Erdal İnönü, she decided to study physics and obtained her B.Sc. in Physics Engineering from Hacettepe University. She was awarded with full-scholarship throughout her M.Sc. studies in Materials Science and Engineering at Sabanci University. Dagdeviren was the top of the list in her field to be entitled to a Fulbright Doctoral Fellow, which was given for the first time in Turkey in 2009, and she pursues her Ph.D. in Material Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under supervision of Prof. John A. Rogers. The primary focuses of her research are applications of ferroelectric/piezoelectric materials and patterning techniques for unusual electronics with an emphasis on bio-inspired and bio-integrated systems, such as bio-sensors, actuators, transducers, and mechanical energy harvesters in flexible/stretchable forms. She is expected to receive her Ph.D. in June, 2014. Dagdeviren serves as a research assistant in Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory, Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. Currently, she has 12 journal papers, is inventor on 2 patent applications, and holds over 25 prestigious awards. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
