Biography
Nazim Babacanis is pursuing his PhD studies in the Department of Mechanical Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Benat Kockar and Dr. Selim Turkbas. The topic of his PhD thesis is “Enhancing mechanical properties of Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloys”. He was a Visiting Scholar at Texas A&M University under the supervision of Dr. Ibrahim Karaman. His studies focused on the actuation properties and thermo-mechanical stability behaviors of Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloys within the scope of the thesis and found important results that clarify the relationship between microstructure and macro-behavior of these alloys.
