In a project started at GTU, micro-level materials will be developed for cooling systems used in aerospace and aviation applications.
In July 2018, an important project in the field of aerospace and aviation started at GTU. With the project, interdisciplinary interaction, job opportunities for bachelor's, master's and PhD degree students, and value-added product development are aimed. The project is titled the "Investigation of the Effect of Crystallographic Anisotropy and Defects on the Electrocaloric Response of Stress-Free Relaxor Ferroelectric Plates by Experimental and Analytical Techniques", and it is coordinated by GTU Materials Science and Engineering Department Faculty Member Assoc. Prof. Ebru Menşur Alkoy (PhD) and supported by "American Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) European Office – Aerospace Materials for Extreme Environments". In this 3-year-project, where the junior partner is Sabancı University, Assoc. Prof. Burç Mısırlıoğlu (PhD) from SU Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences will be contributing to the project as the assistant coordinator.
