About
Pelin Uslu is a leading figure in radiation testing and accelerator physics, with her work centered on the development of the METU Defocusing Beamline (METU-DBL) at the Middle East Technical University. Her primary research areas include proton irradiation facilities, space radiation effects on electronics, and high-radiation material testing for next-generation particle accelerators. Uslu’s major contribution is the design, installation, and characterization of the METU-DBL, a unique facility that delivers 15–30 MeV protons for simulating the harsh radiation environments encountered in space missions and at the High-Luminosity LHC. Her 2020 paper on the beamline’s measurement system has garnered 8 citations, while her 2019 work detailing its installation for space radiation tests has earned 3 citations, underscoring the facility’s growing importance. Notably, Uslu’s efforts enable critical testing of electronic components for satellites and spacecraft, as well as nuclear materials research, bridging the gap between accelerator science and practical aerospace engineering. Her work is instrumental in ensuring the reliability of electronics in extreme environments, making her a key contributor to both fundamental physics and applied space technology.
