Prof. Dr. Yusuf KAYNAK received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Kentucky, USA. He focused on the machining, phase transformation, surface integrity and mechanical behavior of shape memory alloys during his PhD study. His PhD research work was supported by American National Aeronautical and Space Agency (NASA). Professor Kaynak worked as an Assistant Professor in between June 2014-April 2015 and in between April 2015-July 2020 worked as an Associate Professor, since August 2020 he has been working as Full Professor at Department of Mechanical Engineering, Marmara University. He founded the Advanced Manufacturing Technologies Laboratory (AMTL) at Mechanical Engineering Department in 2015. Dr.Kaynak was PI (Principal Investigator) on research projects funded by TUBITAK (The Scientific and technological Research Council of Turkey) and Marmara University. He has been PI on ongoing six projects funded by TUBITAK, TUBITAK-NASA, and Marmara University. Beside, he has been closely collaborating with the manufacturing industry in Turkey by consulting them on their research and R&D projects. Dr. Kaynak has been also contributing the international scientific platforms. He was chair, co-chair and/or special session organizer of some international scientific events such as Additive Manufacturing Conference (AMCTurkey 2019), International Congress on Machining, International Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Congress. Dr. Kaynak has been serving as a Associate Technical Editor for Machining Science and Technology: An International Journal, indexed in SCI-Expanded, and serving as Subject Editor (Mechanical Engineering) for International Journal of Advances in Engineering and Pure Sciences. Dr. Kaynak’s research interest includes additive manufacturing, machining, post-processing operations, surface integrity, microstructural and mechanical properies of metallic components. Dr. Kaynak have been published more than 30 articles in peer reviewed prestigious international journals and more than 60 papers presented at prestigious conferences and symposium.
