معرفی
Dr. Ahmet Hilmi Paksoy serves as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Henry Royce Institute, University of Manchester, specializing in advanced materials for aerospace applications through failure analysis, electron microscopy, and mechanical testing of next-generation components.
Education:
- PhD in Material Science, University of Manchester (awarded November 29, 2022)
- MSc in Materials Engineering, Istanbul Technical University
His research centers on environmental barrier coatings (EBCs), with expertise in high-temperature steam corrosion behavior, sintering dynamics of ytterbium silicates, and advanced characterization of ceramic material systems. Work directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goals for industry innovation and infrastructure resilience.
Recent publications (2022-2024) demonstrate concentrated focus on ytterbium-based EBC formulations, alumina additives, and thermal degradation mechanisms using electron microscopy and mechanical analysis. Research addresses critical challenges in gas turbine component longevity under extreme operating conditions.
Awards:
- Davidge Award (2022, awarded May 5, 2023)
