MEHMET ERDEM İNCE is an Associate Professor in the Textile Engineering Department at Gaziantep University's Faculty of Engineering since 2023. Previously, he served as a Doctor Lecturer (2013-2023) and Research Assistant (2004-2013) at the same institution. His academic career spans nearly two decades with consistent progression through academic ranks.
Education:
- Doctorate (2008-2013): North Carolina State University, USA
- Master's (2002-2005): Gaziantep University, Institute of Science, Textile Engineering (Thesis)
- Bachelor's (1998-2002): Afyon Kocatepe University, Uşak Faculty of Engineering, Textile Engineering
Professor İnce specializes in advanced textile engineering with particular expertise in glass fiber textiles, weft-knitted structures, and textile composites. His research focuses on the mechanical properties, compressibility behavior, and structural characteristics of specialized textile materials. He has developed significant expertise in nonwoven fabrics, 3D textile structures, and protective textile applications. His work bridges theoretical modeling with practical textile manufacturing techniques, particularly in the realm of high-performance technical textiles.
His publication record demonstrates consistent research productivity with 13 peer-reviewed articles spanning from 2007 to 2024, primarily focusing on glass yarn applications, fabric architecture effects, and textile composites. The research shows an evolution from fundamental yarn and fabric properties toward more complex composite material systems and protective textile applications.
Scientific Recognition:
- Genç Bilim ve Sanat İnsanı Ödülü (2015)
- En İnovatif AR-GE Projesi Ödülü (2014)
- En iyi ikinci proje ödülü (2014)
