We build across scales — from cranial neural interfaces to atmospheric flight to solid-state heat flow — united by one discipline: mechatronic systems that sense, move, and adapt.
Rather than force that breadth into one narrow specialty, we organize it into three focused research groups, each with its own instruments, students, and problems to solve. What connects CRANE, OSPREY, and PHOENIX is not a shared application, but a shared method: instrument a system carefully, model how it behaves, and build the hardware that lets it perform better.
Some projects belong to a single group. Others — like our impact testing rig or ultrasonic characterization bath — are lab-wide instruments every group draws on. Our work is supported in part by TÜBİTAK-funded research programs.
Head-and-neck engineering: neuroengineering, bioelectronic interfaces, implantable systems, and biomedical devices for dentistry and craniofacial applications.
Thermoelectric energy conversion: flexible and printable materials, device-level characterization, and piezoelectric sensing structures.
Flight dynamics, guidance, and control. Leads the lab's engineering student team in amateur and high-power rocketry, including IREC competition.
Reach out to the group matching your interests — CRANE, OSPREY, or PHOENIX — via its own page, with a short note on your background.
Yes, particularly on OSPREY's student rocketry team and as research assistants on active TÜBİTAK-funded projects.
Yes — we collaborate with labs across neuroengineering, biohybrid robotics, and materials science internationally.
It is — a patented smart, wood-fire-effect rotisserie control system, and a favorite around the lab.
