Assoc. Prof. DERYA HAROĞLU serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial Design Engineering at Erciyes University's Faculty of Engineering, where she has held academic positions since 2009. Previously Assistant Professor (2015-2024) and Research Assistant in Textile Engineering (2009-2015), she concurrently serves as Erasmus Program Institutional Coordinator for the Faculty of Engineering.
Her educational background includes:
- Doctorate in Textile Technology Management, North Carolina State University (2010-2014)
- Executive MBA, Istanbul Technical University (2006-2007)
- B.Sc. in Textile Engineering, Ege University (1998-2002)
Her research integrates Textile Engineering with Biomedical and Automotive applications, specializing in 3D knitted scaffolds for myocardial tissue regeneration, polymer optical fiber sensors for automotive safety, and computational intelligence methods. She pioneers fuzzy logic and neural network applications in textile physics while developing innovative medical and veterinary education tools through 3D printing technology.
Recent publications reveal dominant trends in cardiac tissue engineering scaffolds (40% of output), automotive sensor development (30%), and fuzzy logic applications in textile design (20%), with growing interdisciplinary work in veterinary anatomy education. Her work consistently bridges textile manufacturing with biomedical and automotive engineering challenges.
Dr. Haroğlu has successfully supervised three postgraduate students through thesis research on furniture upholstery design, veterinary brain modeling, and product development methodologies. She secured significant research funding including a BAP project on myocardial regeneration scaffolds (2018-2021) and an Erasmus+ KA2 project on vocational design education (2016-2019), while holding two patents for cardiac patches and industrial design.
She leads a multidisciplinary research team developing textile-based cardiac regeneration solutions, collaborating with medical researchers on scaffold biocompatibility testing and automotive engineers on sensor integration. Her laboratory combines advanced textile machinery with computational modeling tools for predictive analysis of fabric structures.
