Biography
I have been an assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering at MCBU since 2024. After completing my Ph.D. at DEU on active vibration control of composite manipulators, I pursued postdoctoral research in soft robotics at Cornell’s Organic Robotics Lab. My research bridges soft robotic systems, machine intelligence, and simulation, driven by a motivation to create adaptive and efficient technologies. I also serve as a journal reviewer and am a member of the Turkish Machine Theory Association.
