AERONATEK Tech. — R&D Aeronautical Engineer (Project-Based)

• Worked in a project-based R&D role focused on wind tunnel testing and aerodynamic wind load analysis of building structures.
• Conducted studies in a wind tunnel test section (3.2 × 3.0 × 2.5 m) using a 1/300 scale topographic terrain model (~3 m effective diameter).
• Designed, fabricated, and integrated 10 scaled building models onto the terrain using 3D printing for consistent testing.
• Performed directional wind load tests under eight principal wind directions using a 360-degree rotating turntable.
• Acquired and processed data using a 64-channel pressure measurement system (NI Lab) to evaluate pressure distribution and aerodynamic loading.

GEONTEK Teknoloji Üretim A.Ş. — R&D Aeronautical Engineer

• Conducted an R&D project on vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) for low wind speed environments; researched configurations (H-Darrieus, Savonius, egg-beater, helical), blade design, and airfoil selection.
• Developed blade prototypes using composite materials and 3D printing, supporting performance evaluation through experimental testing.
• Designed and implemented an Arduino-based torque and RPM measurement system covering hardware design, coding, and validation.
• Developed a C# controller interface for a 3-axis CNC machine using Visual Studio to support manufacturing and prototyping.
• Prepared technical documentation and project reports for KOSGEB and TÜBİTAK-supported R&D projects.

Wind Tunnel Testing Equipment for Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (MSc Thesis — Ongoing)

Designed and fabricated a braking and measurement system for a VAWT in a wind tunnel. Torque and RPM are measured using a load cell and encoder to calculate drag force and evaluate turbine efficiency through experimental testing.

Wind Load Analysis on Building Models (Industrial Project)

Conducted wind tunnel experiments on a 1/300 scale topographic terrain model with 10 building models to evaluate wind-induced pressure distribution and aerodynamic loads under multiple wind directions using a 64-channel pressure measurement system.

Aerodynamic Performance Analysis of Tesla Cybertruck (CFD Project)

Performed external aerodynamic analysis at 120 km/h using ANSYS Fluent, calculating drag and downforce coefficients and analyzing flow structures through pressure distribution and streamline visualization.

Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Design and Testing (BSc Graduation Project)

Designed and analyzed a small-scale HAWT for low wind speed conditions using QBlade and ANSYS Fluent, and fabricated a 1/10 scale prototype to support experimental validation.

Composite Material Design and Testing (Course Project)

Fabricated and tested a graphite-reinforced composite laminate, performing static and durability analyses through both Abaqus simulations and experimental testing.

Custom Macropad Development (Personal Project)

Developed an Arduino-based custom macropad with mechanical switches, including firmware development and custom PCB design using EasyEDA, demonstrating combined embedded electronics and software development skills.
