 About Me

I am a first-year Phd. student at  University of Connecticut (UCONN),  Department of Mechanical Engineering. I have been in the
       Advanced  Laboratory for Automation, Robotics and Manufacturing Group here since 2000, July.
I defended my Master's at  UCONN,  Department of Mechanical Engineering in August, 2002.
Before I came to UCONN, I graduated from Istanbul Technical University, Mechanical Engineering Department  (ranked 3rd) in June, 2000.

My Master's Thesis is available in PDF format now !!
Link to a single MAPLE FILE that reveals all the stability intervals exactly along the delay axis of a LTI-Time Delayed Dynamics => THE DIRECT METHOD
A new U.S. Patent on a novel Harmonic Force Generator is joining our lab. This is going to be the 4th U.S. Patent innovated / invented by ALARM Lab.  (email me if you have questions)
