Academic Projects And Employment

Master of Engineering Project -Cornell University, Ithaca, NY

04/ 2010 - 08/2010

Performed theoretical hand calculations and analyzed them using ANSYS software to

determine the fatigue life of each material and the model.

Explored new methods to improve the fatigue life of the model.

Master of Engineering Project - Cornell University, Ithaca, NY

02/ 2010 - 04/2010

Main purpose of this project is designing and optimizing a novel piezoelectric

power harvester device to operate at atmospheric wind speeds.

Performed wind tunnel testing on the device to determine the optimum conditions

for power generation.

Constructed NACA 0012 airfoil profile by using sanding machine in the lab.

Feedback Control Systems Lab - Cornell University, Ithaca, NY

Fall 2009

Performed water tank experiment to obtain required water displacement by using

three different controllers (Proportional, PI and PID). Experimental results were

compared with theoretical results predicted from closed loop transfer function.

Experimental and theoretical results were analyzed by using MATLAB software and

written technical documents were prepared based on both analyses.

Machine Design Lab- University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI

Winter 2009

Mechanical properties of the metals and polymers such as fracture toughness,

ultimate tensile strength, and yield strength were determined by using tensile

testing machines, measurement devices and computer-data acquisition systems.

Experimental results were analyzed by using MATLAB and Microsoft Excel software

and written technical documents were prepared based on the experimental analysis.

Senior Design Project - University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI

Fall 2008

Designed and built a dynamic-growth control system for the automated fabrication

of carbon nanotubes and nanowires.

Performed material selection of the system using CES Software.

Helped the group in manufacturing of the prototype.

Mechanical Engineering Intern - ARCELIK A.S., Istanbul, Turkey

Summer 2007

Performed fatigue testing on washing machines by using Instron Machines

Assisted the design team in reducing energy consumption for washing machines

Performed data analysis using MATLAB

Design and Manufacturing Project- University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI

Winter 2007

Designed a flipping CD Case by using drilling, milling and lathing tools of CAM.

Used CNC Machine which is automated using CAM model of the system to manufacture

the prototype.
