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. |
With my son at UBC MAL. ~2019 |

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 |

PhD opportunities: Please write to me to discuss on research
topics towards advancing the manufacturing engineering. Here is the link for general
application guidelines for prospective MACE students. The PhD students can apply for
scholarships once they got accepted to MACE: 1) Internal MACE scholarships: For both home and overseas students
who can start their PhDs before April. 2) President’s Doctoral Scholarship: Indicative deadline: 11th
January 2021 (candidates will need to have unconditional offers in place by
this point). 3) Also, CSC/UoM scholarship is a very good option for students
from China. |
