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 |
