Head of Additive Manufacturing University of Sheffield AMRC

Dr. Evren Yasa, as the Head of Additive Manufacturing at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) of the University of Sheffield, is leading the AM activities and capabilities to address industrialisation of mainly metallic AM processes to widen its scope and applicability to real-world problems. She has a Mechanical Engineering degree from the Istanbul Technical University (Turkey) and completed her master's degree at the University of British Columbia (BC, Canada) on volumetric error modelling and compensation. She received her Ph.D. degree with her thesis on "Combined Process of Selective Laser Melting and Selective Laser Erosion/Laser Re-melting" at the Catholic University of Leuven, for which she was awarded the "Emerald Outstanding Doctoral Study-Highly commended". After her Ph.D. study, she worked as a senior engineer at Tusas Engine Industries, a GE-joint venture company specializing in manufacturing aero-engine parts, where she led Additive Manufacturing projects. Later, she worked as an assistant professor in academia while giving consultancy to aerospace and defence companies to adopt AM technologies for demanding applications. Moreover, she has been working as an independent expert in the field of laser-based manufacturing on behalf of the European Commission to evaluate proposals and project progresses
