PhD in Energy Systems Engineering. Expert in Hydrogen/Methane combustion, reacting CFD & emission control. Seeking MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunities to apply my expertise in plasma-assisted combustion and spray dynamics to sustainable aviation.

My organisation

I am a dedicated researcher with a PhD in Energy Systems Engineering (2025) from Gazi University, specialized in the numerical and experimental investigation of advanced combustion technologies. My doctoral research focused on the integration of Thermoelectric Generators (TEG) into combustion systems to enhance energy efficiency and the analysis of Hydrogen/Methane blended fuels. Core Technical Expertise: Advanced CFD Modeling: Extensive experience using Ansys Fluent and CFX for simulating reacting flows, NOx emissions, and Colorless Distributed Combustion (CDC) regimes. Sustainable Propulsion: Specialized in hydrogen-enriched combustion and its effects on flame stability and emission control. Multiphysics Integration: Proven track record in modeling thermal energy recovery systems and subsystem interfaces. Future Research Focus: I am currently advancing my expertise in Plasma-Assisted Combustion and Spray Dynamics (Multiphase Flow) to develop innovative solutions for zero-emission aviation and industrial decarbonization. Objective: I am actively seeking a host organization and a supervisor to collaborate on an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship proposal. My background as a Mechanical Engineer, combined with international research experience in Germany (University of Rostock), allows me to contribute effectively to multidisciplinary, high-impact aerospace and energy projects. I am committed to bridging the gap between fundamental research and industrial application.

About me

I am a Mechanical Engineer with a PhD in Energy Systems Engineering (2025), specializing in the numerical and experimental analysis of advanced combustion systems.

My core expertise includes:

  • Analyzing CFD Simulations: Advanced proficiency in Ansys Fluent and CFX for H₂/CH₄ mixtures.

  • Sustainable Energy: Research on hydrogen-enriched combustion, NOx reduction, and Colorless Distributed Combustion (CDC) regimes.

  • System Integration: Development of TEG-integrated combustion chambers for thermal energy recovery.

Current Research Interests: I am actively expanding my work into plasma-assisted combustion and spray dynamics to address the challenges of zero-emission propulsion.

Goal: I am looking for a collaborative host organization and a supervisor to develop a high-impact MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship proposal. My background in both academic research and industrial R&D (automotive/manufacturing) enables me to connect fundamental science with practical engineering applications.
