Prof. Dr. İlkay Bakırtaş gave a talk on “Suppressıon of Symmetry-Breaking Bifurcations in Wadati-Type Pt-Symmetric Potentials” as an invited speaker at the conference titled "8th Dynamics Days Central Asia and Caucasus: 21st Century Silk Road for Science and Peace", which was held in Bukhara, Uzbekistan between 1-4 October 2023.

In this talk, they have presented the existence and suppression of symmetry breaking bifurcations in nonlinear Schrödinger equation with self-steepening and fourth order diffraction. The nonlinear and linear stability analysis of the obtained optical modes are also demonstrated and the effect of the intensity of the fourth order diffraction is discussed.
