معرفی
Farzin ARİANPOUR is a Lecturer at Kastamonu University, Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, specifically in the Ceramics and Glass Department since 2020. Prior to this position, he served as Teaching Staff at Kastamonu University's Muhammed İhsan Oğuz Application and Research Center from 2017 to 2021.
His academic background includes:
- PhD in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (2009-2016)
- Master's Degree in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (2001-2004)
- Bachelor's Degree in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (1997-2009)
Dr. ARİANPOUR's research primarily focuses on ceramics and glass materials science, with special emphasis on refractory materials, nanomaterials synthesis, and ceramic applications in both industrial and artistic contexts. His work bridges materials engineering with artistic ceramic applications, particularly exploring the properties and uses of local Turkish clays in ceramic production. He has made significant contributions to understanding the recycling of waste refractory materials and the development of novel ceramic composites.
His publication record demonstrates a clear evolution from fundamental materials research on refractory ceramics and ultra-high temperature ceramics toward more applied research focused on ceramic applications in art and building materials. Recent work particularly emphasizes the characterization of local Turkish clay resources and their potential applications in ceramic production, reflecting his integration into the Turkish academic and ceramic community.
Dr. ARİANPOUR has successfully led research projects including "High Purity Zirconia-Mullite Nanocomposites Production by Sol-Gel Method" and "Investigation of Sodium Hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) Use in Artistic and Industrial Glazes." His work has resulted in substantial scholarly output with 70 total publications, including 29 articles and 39 conference presentations.
He teaches courses including "Structure Design" at the undergraduate level and "Glaze Technology I" at the graduate level, demonstrating his commitment to both theoretical and practical aspects of ceramic education.
His research collaborations span internationally, with significant work alongside colleagues at Iran University of Science and Technology and more recently with Turkish researchers at Kastamonu University, particularly with Aslı Çakır on local clay characterization and applications.
