OBJECTIVE

Seeking an exciting opportunity where my acquired Chemical and Ceramic

Engineering skills and experience will be best utilized.

WORK EXPERIENCE

College Guidance Counselor

Horizon Science Academy, Columbus, OH

October 2010 - Present

. Provided counseling service to 500 students, small groups, and

classrooms.

. Prepared reports, schedules, presentations and training materials in

various technical subjects.

Research Assistant

Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH December

2008 - December 2010

. Investigated directionally solidified Al-7% Si aluminum alloy

sponsored by NASA and European Space Agency.

. Characterized the microstructure and texture evolution of

directionally solidified Al-7% Si aluminum alloy with scanning

electron microscopy, optical microcopy and using image processing

tools.

. Modeled the grain formation and growth of Al-Si alloy during

directionally solidification process.

. Full knowledge on operating scanning electron microscopy, optical

microscopy, hardness measurements, microstructural characterization

and modeling kinetics of solidification process.

. Characterized various ceramic materials with x-ray diffraction,

prepared glaze and glass recipes for various research projects.

Ceramics Manufacturing and Quality Engineer

Tamsa Ceramic Tile Factory, Izmir Turkey

June 2003 - June 2004

. Developed and implemented test procedures and lean manufacturing methods

to improve and control the quality of the final product.
