I work at the intersection of magnetic levitation, rotordynamics, and control systems, building rotating machinery and open-source computational tools for modeling, optimization, and validation.

My recent work at Sabanci University proposed a systematic design framework and manufactured an active magnetic bearing (AMB) micro-milling spindle.

Previously, I worked at GIK Institute where I developed and benchmarked an open-source finite-element rotordynamic code VibronRotor for flexible rotor-bearing systems.
