Eren Tahiroğlu

Design, prototyping, and simulation — with a systems-level view of cost and risk.

I build mechanical systems with evidence-based design decisions. Alongside my engineering studies at AGÜ, I study Securities & Capital Markets and chair the Audit Board of AGÜ Automotive Club — bringing governance discipline and cost awareness into technical work.

PLA-Based Additive Manufacturing and Thermal Aging Analysis of UAV Airfoil Profiles

TÜBİTAK 1002-A research project evaluating dimensional deformation and aerodynamic efficiency loss in FDM-printed NACA profiles after controlled thermal exposure

TÜBİTAK 1002-A research project measuring the aerodynamic performance degradation of FDM-printed PLA UAV wing sections after controlled thermal exposure — targeting a binary maintenance decision rule for UAV field operations.

Interdisciplinary

AshCycle: Integrated Waste Management and Thermal Reactivation System

ESG-aligned system design combining mechanical-biological separation, thermal processing, and bottom ash reactivation for secondary construction material recovery

Conceptual design of an integrated municipal solid waste system: mechanical-biological separation → thermal processing (incineration/pyrolysis, ~90% volume reduction) → bottom ash thermal reactivation → secondary construction aggregate. Dual cost recovery through avoided disposal and substituted virgin raw material.

TEKNOFEST Electromobile: Door and Lock Mechanism Design

DfM-driven door and latch system design for a competition electromobile — assembly compatibility, weight constraint management, and cross-team interface coordination

Active design of door and latch mechanisms for the AGÜ Automotive Club's TEKNOFEST electromobile. Scope: SolidWorks modeling of door panel, inner frame, hinge brackets, and latch system; DfM-constrained geometry development; cross-team interface control with chassis and body panel teams.

Leadership & Governance

Audit Board Chair, AGÜ Automotive Club

I oversee financial and operational audit processes for the club — establishing reporting structures, reviewing compliance with club bylaws, and ensuring accountability in resource allocation. The role is less about club activities and more about systems, discipline, and organizational risk.

See governance work

Audit & Compliance

Designing and running audit cycles for a student organization with real financial responsibilities.

Risk Awareness

Identifying process gaps and proposing corrective systems before they become failures.

Financial Literacy

Securities & Capital Markets studies complement engineering decision-making with cost and efficiency thinking.


About

Engineering + finance + governance — in one profile.

I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at AGÜ with a parallel focus on additive manufacturing, FEA simulation, and system-level thinking. My concurrent study of Securities & Capital Markets isn't a detour — it makes me think about design efficiency, cost justification, and resource constraints differently than a purely technical track would.
