Mehmet Erdi Korkmaz graduated from his Phd in 2018. He is currently working as Assoc. Prof. Dr. at Karabük University. He got his master degree in Mechanical Engineering from the same university. He also takes a Bachelor degree in mechanical engineering from Middle East Technical University. He had been studied as guest researcher at Ghent University, Belgium in 2017. His research areas are mechanical behaviour of materials, Constitutive material model parameters, Finite element modeling of machining process, tribology in machining and additive manufacturing. He has authored or co-authored over 50 publications, including scientific papers in high impact international journals and conference proceedings. His expertise and contributions in the field of machining have afforded him many collaborative works with important Institutions. He is a reviewer for many international Journals (for Elsevier, Springer, Sage, etc.).

Dr. Mozammel Mia, currently serving as Associate Professor in BBS, has an academic and research focus on manufacturing and business informatics. With a long track record academic and research success, he is now more oriented towards nationally impactful contributions.

Awarded with the prestigious Commonwealth Scholarship for his Ph.D. in the UK at Imperial College London, he worked on Manufacturing Informatics that has opened a new wing of research combining the data-driven approach with fundamental investigation and modelling in the field of wear-and-friction. Since then, he is more inclined to data-driven research approaches for manufacturing and business informatics with national and industrial impact.

In early years, Dr. Mia's research contributions were notably focused on manufacturing processes, optimization of production systems, process sustainability, smart and intelligent manufacturing. His research theme includes employment of experimental, simulation, and modeling approaches to advance the understanding of scientific and engineering aspects. He has enriched himself with active collaborations on different research projects with esteemed scholars from multi-countries and continents. This indicates his capability to team work with diverse people and bring outstanding success.

The success of his students in national and international domains i.e., award-winning projects, admission to the top universities for higher studies, placements in big companies, starting their own business or it be scientific publication - all of these testify his teaching and supervision success that further inspires him to add more value for students.
