Assistant Professor | Mechatronics Engineering

Dr. Yasin Uslugil

I have academic expertise in mechanical engineering and mechatronics. My work focuses on research and development in advanced engineering materials, embedded software and electronic systems, cloud-based architectures, and smart agriculture technologies. In addition to material development studies on shape memory alloys and nanomaterial-reinforced composites, I actively take part in both technical development and project execution processes involving sensor integration, field data acquisition, digital twin approaches, and real-environment validation applications.
