About the Author

After studying in Baskent University and Virginia Commonwealth University, Eren Billur graduated and received his PhD in mechanical engineering from The Ohio State University in 2013. As a successful researcher at Center for Precision Forming, he was responsible for the coordination of sheet forming research. His focus is set on comprehensive topics like material characterization, sheet metal forming processes and finite element simulations. Dr. Billur's present positions as Technical Manager at Billur Makine and Assistant Professor of Automotive Engineering at Atilim University, both in Ankara, Turkey, are ideal endorsements that keep an overview on science and industry.
