My name is Zekai Murat Kilic and I am a Lecturer in the
Manufacturing Group of the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering
(MACE) at The University of Manchester (UoM). I
earned my PhD degree and Postdoctoral research experience from Professor Altintas’ Manufacturing Automation Laboratory at the
University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada), and further had 2.5 years
of industry experience at Pratt & Whitney Canada (QC, Canada) and at ITRI
Intelligent Machine Tools Division (Taichung, Taiwan). My Master’s degree is
from Professor Ozguven’s Vibrations group at Middle
East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey), where I also earned my BSc degree
in Mechanical Engineering. |

RESEARCH i) Digital twinning of multi-axis CNC
machine tools: As
summarised in the above picture for an example of Digitised Machine Tool, I am
interested in modelling the dynamic, kinematic and control aspects of
production machines coupled with the process models. Each model will be part
of a realistic Virtual Manufacturing System that involves multiple
manufacturing technology. ii) Model-based process monitoring and
optimisation (Industry 4.0 principles) iii) Intelligent tools for high
performance manufacturing Fields of interest: Metal cutting; Additive Manufacturing;
Industry 4.0 |
