Necla Öztürk, PhD, Prof., received the BSc degree in physics from the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey in 1969; the M.Sc degree in 1974 and the PhD degree in 1977 in biophysics from Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey. She worked as an associate professor in 1984 and full professor in 1995 at the Department of Biophysics, Hacettepe University. Since 2012, she has been a full professor of Biophysics at the Faculty of Medicine, Maltepe University, İstanbul, Turkey. Her major research interests are analysis of contractions of smooth muscles in time and frequency domain, mathematical modelling of muscle contractions, time-frequency domain and fractal dimension analysis of vasomotion and electromyography, and biomechanics. Other areas of interest are the time and frequency domain analysis of the evoked potentials of the brain.
