As a Lead Aerothermal Engineer & Aviation Gas Turbine Engines Design Engineer, I am passionate about driving innovation and excellence in the aerospace industry with over a decade of experience. With deep enthusiasm for internal combustion engines and a commitment to developing cutting-edge, sustainable, and efficient engine solutions, I specialize in thermofluid analysis for engine sumps, oil, and ventilation lines. Currently leading the Pressurization, Ventilation, and Lubrication (PVL) Division in the Aerothermal Group, I formerly served as the Lubrication System Responsible, contributing to system architecture, thermofluid analysis, and engine component specifications. As an Engine Architect, I played a key role in building various engine configurations, preliminary design, and weight estimation tool development, and establishment of the engineering database.My journey began at Istanbul Technical University and continued at the National Aerospace University (Kharkiv Aviation Institute), where I specialized in aviation gas turbine engine design. There, I mastered the concepts of the well-known TV3-117 turboshaft engine and successfully completed engineering projects, including the preliminary design of a 2500 hp turboshaft engine. Additionally, I conducted research in AGTE diagnostics and prognostics in collaboration with industry.During my Ph.D. studies at West Virginia University, I joined the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department and worked at the Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines, and Emissions (CAFEE). There, I contributed to building various experimental engine setups and tests, leading research initiatives supported by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). My focus was on fluidization hydrodynamics and syngas generation, where I designed and developed a bench-scale bubbling fluidized bed gasifier with novel applications for synthetic gas generation as an alternative fuel. I gained extensive experience in experimental fluid dynamics, multiphase flows, heat transfer, gasification, thermochemical reactor design, experimental test rig design and development, and internal combustion engines. Additionally, I assisted with catalyst development activities led by the Chemical Engineering Research Group.With proven success as an engineer, researcher, and project leader, I am committed to continuous learning and development. As an experimentalist also developing skills in numerical applications, artificial intelligence, and multiphase flow CFD applications. Fluent in English, Russian, Turkish, and currently learning French.
