Until now, he has been recognized as a multi-talented scientist by japanese and turkish people.
However, surprisingly, he may be lying about much of his career trajectory.
Serkan Anilir, suspicion of falsifying his career
Serkan Anilir is NOT an astronaut candidate ?
・Although he has been introduced himself as the first astronaut candidate of 2004 from the Republic of Turkey, who completed the NASA astronaut training program in 2001 (Reference. [1][2][3][4][5].),
his name is not on the list of astronaut candidates of 2004.
→ http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/04class.html
Likewise, his name is not on other astronaut candidates lists of 2000 and 1998, and not on active astronauts lists (American and non-american).
↓ Moreover, he has showed fabricated composite photograph as proof of selection as astronaut candidate of 2004.
↓ Serkan's photo is very similar to that of Richard J. Hieb, a mission specialist on the crew of STS-49 !
Serkan Anilir has taken advantage of this composite photograph in his poster for lecture in wakayama university, article for business magazine, and literary works.
Disucussion about the picture of Serkan.
・Commemorative photo with spacesuit is usually distributed from NASA when the astronaut is commissioned for a flight, but not when he or she is selected as an astronaut candidate.
・The NASA's logo in Serkan's photo is an old type, which had been used until 1992.
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/insignia/text/insignia.html
・The space-suit in Serkan's photo is an old type. Recent models of spacesuit have no joint between arm and shoulder parts
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/crew-18/html/jsc2007e19404.html
・The mission patch put on space suit is for STS-49 (1992).
http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/sts-49/mission-sts-49.html
Therefore, it is highly possible that Serkan's photo is composite, which are superimposed on the picture of Richard J. Hieb.
Serkan Anilir has NOT published any papers in physics
and did NOT win any scientific prizes ?
He introduce himself an astrophysicist (space physicist), who receieved the U.S Technology Award, the physics award of Cambridge University (2005), and American Medal of Honor (2005). (Referance. [6][7])
However, until now, He has not published any papers with referee reading in scientific journal about physics or mathematics.
Moreover, he has enumerated the following scholarly attainments in his laboratory homepage of Department of Architecture, Graduate School of Engineering, University of Tokyo (Reference. [8]）.
| ANILIR S., “ A Proposal to understand the 11th Dimensional membrane universes and their architectural forms in space environment”, Physical Review Letters, Publisher: University of Cambridge, 2003/09, p. 39-50. |
| S.Anilir: Designing in Parallel Universes and 11th Dimension: Physical Review Letter, January 2004 Edition, p.22, (2003). |
| ANILIR S., “Energy for Housing in the 21st Century- Advanced Technology Paths from Space Solar Power into Terrestrial Architecture”Journal of the Faculty of Architecture, Middle East Technical University (METU): Vol. 23, No. 9-10, (2003). |
However, Publisher of Physical Review Letters (PRL) is American Physical Society(APS) but not University of Cambridge, and the above 1st paper with 12 page could not be published in PRL due to page limitation.
Furthermore, his name (Anilir Serkan) does not apper in PRL archive (http://prl.aps.org/).
Likewise, the above third serkan's paper can not be found in METU journal archive (http://jfa.arch.metu.edu.tr/). Besides, No.9-10 that seem to contain the avove third serkan's paper must not exist because METU journal of the faculty of architecture contain only No.1 and No.2 per issue.
Moreover, tertiary sources about his winning the U.S Technology Award, the physics award of Cambridge University, and American Medal of Honor do not exist. It's hardly possible that he received American Medal of Honor because Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration awarded by the United States government.
Serkan Anilir is NOT a Head of Space Physics Department, JAXA, nor associate proffesor of the University of Tokyo.
In several countries including Turcky and Korea, he has identified himself as a Head (President) or team leader of Space Physics Department, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) or associate proffesor of the University of Tokyo (See below three links)
However, he is a mere resercher of JAXA (Ref. [9]) and assistant professor in The University of Tokyo.

・↓ Conferece held in Korea in 2006 (http://blog.anilir.net/?month=200611&page=2)
↑ * As previously mentioned, it is highly possible that he is not astronaut candidate, much less astronaut/mission specialist.
Serkan Anilir was NOT a Instructor at mathematics department of Princeton University ?
He has announced that he was an instructor at mathematics department of Princeton University in 1997.
However, there is no employment record about him in Internet Archive of Princeton University's homepage.
Note that he has no achievements such as papor in fields like mathematics or physics.
Patents that Serkan Anilir has announced as his accomplishment does NOT exist.
He announced, in his laboratory homepage (the University of Tokyo) or conference, that he has three patents, "EU Patent 3,743,229 ‘SPIDER FACADE SYSTEM’, July 2001" and "US Patent 6,324,603 ‘AIR-SUPPORTED CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM’, October 2002" and "U.S. Patent 6,378,203".
However, EU Patent EP 3,743,229 does not exist,

Besides, US Patent 6,324,603 and 6,378,203 are others' patents.
