Prof. Dr. Arcan F. Dericioglu received his Ph.D from The University of Tokyo in Materials Science (2002) and had lectured and conducted research at various academic institutions in Japan and in USA. Currently, Dr. Dericioglu is a full professor at the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering of the Middle East Technical University, Turkey. His active research topics are Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) of Metallic Materials, Heat Treatment and Phase Transformations, Ceramic and Metal Matrix Composites, Microwave Processing (Ceramics and Metals) and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding and Radar Absorbing Materials/Composites.
Over the years, Dr. Dericioglu has evaluated and monitored numerous research projects funded by various funding agencies some of which were on electromagnetic wave absorption, radar cross section reduction, fuel cell electrolyte development and fuel cell system integration. Dr. Dericioglu has been consulting with a major steel producer in Turkey to develop research projects on new alloy design, quality and efficiency improvement as well reduction in CO2 emissions. Possibility of implementing hydrogen usage at various stages of steel production is being investigated actively to be able to comply with the future targets of EU Green Deal.
