My name
is Zekai Murat Kilic and I am a Senior Lecturer in the Manufacturing Group of
the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the School of
Engineering 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 |

PhD opportunities: Please write to me to discuss on
research topics towards advancing the manufacturing engineering. Here is the link
to potential scholarships/awards for prospective School of Engineering
applicants. In general, the prospective PhD
students can apply for these scholarships: Dean’s Doctoral Scholarship
(DDS) For UK or international
researchers of the highest calibre Two-stage process: 1)
application; 2) interview Postgraduate Research
Teaching Associate (PGRTA) Scholarship For UK researchers with
an interest in progressing into teaching Two-stage process: 1)
application; 2) interview President’s Doctoral
Scholarship (PDS) For UK or international
researchers of the highest calibre Two-stage process: 1)
application; 2) interview In addition, Postgraduate
dual- and joint-awards are also available
between University of Manchester and leading institutes in India (IISc Bangalore, IIT
Kharagpur), Australia (University of Melbourne), Japan
(University of Tokyo) and Singapore (A*STAR Research Institute): Prospective Chinese students may also
check the UoM-CSC
Joint Scholarship funding between Chinese
Scholarship Council (CSC) and University of Manchester: In the past, there were
also scholarship chances for students from minority groups in engineering
(e.g. exceptional women in engineering, or black future engineering) which
would possibly be reannounced later on. |
