معرفی
Prof. Serhat Yesilyurt is a Professor of Mechatronics Engineering at Sabanci University in Istanbul, Turkey. He holds a PhD from MIT (1995) and has held visiting professorships at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on bio-inspired micro-swimming robots, PEM fuel cells, vertical axis wind turbines, and computational fluid dynamics. He leads projects on energy optimization, micro/nano swimmer dynamics, and PEMFC durability funded by TUBITAK and international collaborations.
- Education: BS in Nuclear Energy Engineering (Hacettepe University, 1986), MS/PhD in Nuclear Engineering (MIT, 1991/1995)
- Research: Specializes in microscale propulsion, renewable energy systems, and advanced fuel cell modeling. Collaborates internationally on medical micro-robotics and sustainable energy solutions.
His recent work explores catalyst layer optimization for low-platinum fuel cells, acoustic manipulation of microswimmers, and VAWT control algorithms. Over 100 peer-reviewed publications and 3 patents demonstrate his interdisciplinary impact spanning robotics, energy systems, and fluid mechanics.
