Prof. Dr. Melih Cemal Kuşhan is head the Department of Aeronautical Engineering and Director of Aviation and Space Technologies Application and Research Center of Eskişehir Osmangazi University, Eskişehir, Turkey. He has a B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Dokuz Eylül University, an M.Sc. degree in Industrial Engineering from Anadolu University and a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from Eskişehir Osmangazi University. He conducted his postdoctoral research at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, James Cook University, Australia. He has more than 260 publications on aviation and defence technology. His publications have been cited in more than 2500 scientific studies. He has completed 22 research projects in the field of materials science and manufacturing of aerospace components. He is a member of the National Aviation Cluster (ESAC) of Turkey.

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.

Abdullah Uz Tansel received his BS in management, and his MS and PhD degrees in computer science from the Middle East Technical University, in Ankara Turkey. He has also received his MBA degree at the University of Southern California. After being a faculty member at the Middle East Technical University, Dr. Tansel joined Baruch College, the City University of New York (CUNY) where he is currently a professor of information systems and also a professor of computer science at The Graduate Center of CUNY. Professor Tansel’s research focus is on temporal databases and he has made significant contributions in this field. He also headed the editorial board that published the first book on temporal databases ‘Temporal Databases: Theory, Design, and Implementation’ (1993). Dr. Tansel has a patent on adding temporality to RDF. His research interests are Database Management Systems, Temporal Databases, Semantic Web, and Blockchain Databases WEB3.0, and Generative AI. Dr. Tansel has published many articles in the conferences and journals of the ACM, IEEE and other organizations. He is a frequent speaker on time in databases and blockchain as a database and Web3. He is also a member of the ACM and the IEEE Computer Society.
