I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Bilkent University Mechanical Engineering Department in 2021. Lubricants carry great significant in reducing friction and wear in machine elements. However, when high viscoelasticity is present, complex non-linear effects are observed which have not been fully unveiled. My work aims to understand soft matter behavior under viscoelastic lubricants. In this manner, new numerical approaches will be developed which can be applied to polymers, soft tissues, biomedical implants, and smart devices. My work is part of an ongoing collaboration between the FluidFrame Lab and the Polytechnic University of Bari.
