معرفی
Burak Şahin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering at the Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Gaziantep University, Turkey, since 2021. Previously, he served as a Research Assistant in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the same university from 2012 to 2021.
His educational background is entirely from Gaziantep University:
- Doctorate (2014-2019): Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Construction and Manufacturing
- Master's (2011-2014): Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Construction and Manufacturing
- Licence (2005-2010): Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Construction and Manufacturing
Dr. Şahin's research focuses on aerospace materials surface engineering, particularly the GOV (flow peening) process for enhancing surface properties of Inconel 718, Ti-6Al-4V, and stainless steel. He also investigates gear design with asymmetric tooth profiles for stress reduction and develops innovative testing methodologies for textile materials, especially carpets, bridging mechanical engineering with aerospace and textile applications.
His recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate a concentrated effort in surface engineering for aerospace materials, with multiple studies on GOV processing of critical alloys. Simultaneously, he has advanced textile engineering through automated carpet testing systems and maintains active research in gear mechanics and finite element analysis.
Dr. Şahin has supervised two Master's theses on GOV process applications for aerospace materials. He participated in two completed research projects: asymmetric spur gear development (2014-2017) and carpet testing device innovation (2019-2021, TUBITAK 1005). He co-invented a national patent for carpet static loading test technology (2020).
His work is conducted within mechanical and aerospace engineering research facilities at Gaziantep University, supporting experimental surface engineering and mechanical testing programs.
