Sabancı University Center of Excellence in Finance (CEF), of which Akbank is the founding sponsor, will present a certificate program on Fundamentals Of Capital Budgeting  and Fundamentals of Finance in April 2021.

This 4-day education will be an intense introduction to capital budgeting and more importantly discounted cash flow valuation of corporate investments.

In the first part there will be an introduction to simple heuristics for choosing between available projects. In the second part, the focus will be on the topic of risk and return and how these two concepts are related to each other. 

The training will be instructed by Evrim Akdoğu, Faculty Member of Sabancı Business School, Sabancı University, via Zoom between April 13-21.

Fundamentals of Finance / Investments Online Training by Özgür Demirtaş

As part of the CEF Certificate Programs, Özgür Demirtaş, Chairperson of Finance at Sabancı University, will give lectures on Fundamentals of Finance / Investments between 27-29 April and 4-6 May. This 4-day education will be an intense introduction to Fundamentals of Finance with an Investments flavor.

First day will start with time value of money. Using present and future value operators and the power of compounding will be instructed. Then, we will dive into annuity and perpetuity type cash flow streams. Second day will start with equity valuation. During the third day of the certificate program, students will be introduced to modern portfolio theory. Participants will learn to allocate capital between risk-free and risky assets. Final day of the certificate program will introduce participants to derivative securities. Stock options will be emphasized and call and put options will be covered.

After these four days, participants will have a strong foundation of finance with a flavor of Investments. They will be ready to take advanced classes such as Risk Management, Investments and Asset Pricing.

The Gender Equality Action Plan (GEP) which Sabancı University started in 2019, will be put into action as of 2021.

The Gender Equality Action Plan, carried out within the scope of the European Union Horizon 2020 GEARING-Roles project, was designed as a unique collection of research and practices in which Sabancı University's ethical principles, strategic goals and research strategy were all considered. The action steps determined in the Gender Equality Action Plan aim to reflect our institutional stance in the field of gender equality at every point of our academic and administrative mechanisms. These actions have been categorized under 8 main headings in line with the needs and goals of Sabancı University.

• Institutionalization of Gender Equality
• Recruitment
• Career Progression
• Work-Life Balance
• Decision Making and Leadership
• Research
• Curriculum and Teaching 
• Sexual Harassment, Anti-Assault and Anti-Discrimination Mechanisms and Gender-Neutral Communication

During this process: 

• An Institutional Evaluation Report (2019) was prepared within the framework of the research methodology produced with the expertise gained from similar preliminary projects funded by the EU.

• More than 30 interviews, focus groups and co-creation workshops were conducted with the participation of 100 academics, academic administration staff and students from various units of the university.

• The Gender Equality Task Force (GETF) was established in June 2019 with the participation of 28 faculty members, administrative staff, directors and students from different faculties and units of our university. The GEP Committee took on an active role in the execution of the project. 

• Implementation of the action plans has already begun.  Gender Equality Training, in cooperation with SU Gender, was completed with the participation of 216 employees from Human Resources, Student Resources, Marketing and Corporate Communication and Information Center units. The aim is to offer this training to all university employees. 

• The “Gender Equality Officer” role was created under the umbrella of the Human Resources Department at our university.

Projects of researchers and faculty members at Sabancı University were found eligible for support within the framework of the TÜBİTAK Bilateral Cooperation Program. As a result of TÜBİTAK's bilateral cooperation with Uzbekistan and Poland, two projects from Sabancı University will be supported.

The project of Gökhan Göğüş, a Faculty Member at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (FENS), was found eligible to be supported within the framework of Bilateral Cooperation with TÜBİTAK and Ministry of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan (MID Uzbekistan).

Gökhan Göğüş's project titled “Monge-Ampère Equation and Multiple Altharmonic Extreme Functions” will investigate the relationship of the most extreme functions with the Monge-Ampère equation and their applications in complex dynamical systems with new developments in potential theory.

The project in which Ömer Ceylan, a Researcher at FASS, will be the coordinator, and  Yaşar Gürbüz, a Faculty Member at FASS, will be a researcher was found eligible to be supported by TÜBİTAK and the Polish National Research and Development Center (NCBR) within the scope of the Bilateral Cooperation Program.

The project titled “Development of Plasmon-enhanced HOT MIR Photodetectors” led by Ömer Ceylan will be carried out together with VIGO, a company known for infrared sensors.

The purpose of this project is to increase the performance of type III-V infrared sensors operating at high temperatures (HOT-High Operation Temperature) by a combination of materials and geometry that will create a plasmonic effect. It is known in the literature that the performance of HOT infrared sensors is limited due to high thermal noise. It is stated that the cause of this thermal noise is a thick absorbent layer consisting of type III-V semiconductors used to achieve high quantum efficiency and convert incoming infrared radiation into electrical current. 2DSHA (2D subwavelength hole array) plasmonic structure to be used in the project will be trapped/condensed into the interface of the semiconductor material with the infrared radiation surface, which means that there will be no need to use a thick absorbent layer for high quantum efficiency. This method aims to reduce noise and bring HOT infrared sensor performance closer to theoretical limits.

Design, production, and characterization of 2DSHA plasmonic structure for the project will be carried out by Sabancı University Microelectronics Research Group (SÜMER - http://sumer.sabanciuniv.edu), which has experience and knowledge in semiconductor detector design and modeling. The SÜMER group will also contribute to the design, modeling, and integration of the type III-V infrared sensor, which will be produced by VIGO, with the 2DSHA plasmonic structure. 

We congratulate our Researchers and Faculty Members.
