Dr. Öncü Akyıldız is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the Hitit University. He completed his Ph.D. at the Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Turkey, with his dissertation on modeling and computer simulation of microstructural evolution in polycrystalline thin films for microelectronics exposed to severe operating conditions. Dr. Akyıldız won the best dissertation awards in 2004 and 2011 by METU. After that, he joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan as a postdoctoral visiting scholar, where he worked on modeling and computer simulation of microstructural evolution in phase separating positive electrodes for secondary lithium-ion batteries. His research interests cover the diffusion-controlled movement of solid surfaces and interfaces, computational thermodynamics, kinetics, and mechanics in materials modeling and simulation applied to directed energy deposition additive manufacturing.
