SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Born in Adapazarı in 1937, he graduated from Adapazarı Merkez Hacı Köy Primary School in the 1948-1949 academic year, from Adapazarı Boys' Technical School in the 1956-1957 academic year, and from Istanbul (Yıldız) Technical School, Department of Mechanical Engineering in the 1960-1961 academic year as a Mechanical Engineer. He then completed his Master's degree at the same school, specializing in Mechanical Engineering in the 1961-1962 academic year.

After becoming a Mechanical Engineer, he initially worked as a Project Engineer at the SEKA General Directorate for about 6 months. He then moved to the General Directorate of the Meat and Fish Authority (EBK) as a Project Engineer. During his tenure at EBK, he served as the Head of Revisions and Workshops, Deputy Director of Machinery and Facilities, and finally, as the Director of Machinery and Facilities for 5 years between 1970-1975.

During his duties, he focused on local project production, manufacturing, installation, and facility establishment related to refrigeration facilities and cold storage, utilizing all EBK and national resources. Under this effort and leadership, he oversaw the establishment of Urfa, Elazığ, Bursa, Kayseri, Kars, and Adana Meat Processing Plants, Gaziantep, Amasya, Erzincan, Kastamonu, and Bolu Cold Storages, Siverek, Çorum, Çubuk, and Dinar Municipality Cold Storages, and various Military Cold Storages, as well as numerous thermos and refrigerated transport vehicles. He continued the construction and establishment of Tatvan, Van, Suluova, Burdur, Sakarya, Ağrı, and Manisa Meat Processing Plants, Fatsa and Trabzon Fish Processing Plants, Sincan Meat Packaging and Delicatessen Facility, and the Poultry Processing Plant under the same conditions. He left EBK in March 1975 and was appointed as a Lecturer at Elazığ DMMA.

During his tenure at EBK, following the end of the Cyprus Second Peace Operation, he was sent to Cyprus by the order of the Prime Minister with the TÜBİTAK team to restore the industrial facilities in the Liberated Region and to assist in the establishment of the Cyprus Turkish Industry Holding Limited Company.

In his early years as a Mechanical Engineer, he established an association in his village and successfully worked on bringing roads, water, and electricity, as well as building a middle school and teacher housing. Today, his birthplace, Adapazarı Merkez Hacı Village, is a modern village with a primary and secondary school, housing, asphalt roads, water, electricity, telephone, agricultural technician, midwife, and various facilities, having exported numerous educated individuals to serve the country.

During his tenure at EBK, he also worked as a Lecturer at the Male Technical High School, Private Zafer Engineering and Architecture High School, and later at Ankara DMMA Engineering and Architecture High School.

In addition to these duties, he was involved in various book and article writing and publication efforts. He left EBK in March 1975 and was appointed as a Lecturer at Elazığ DMMA, where he also served as the Deputy Head of Education. During this time, he conducted a qualifying study entitled "Investigation of the Frost Formation Event in Refrigeration Units in Cold Storages and Measures to Reduce Frost Formation" as a substitute for a Ph.D. study under the provisions of Article 12 of the Temporary Law No. 1184.

In March 1977, he left Elazığ DMMA and was appointed to Balıkesir DMMA.

At Balıkesir DMMA, he initially served as a Lecturer and Deputy Head of Education for two and a half years. During this time, he prepared his Associate Professorship thesis on "Investigation of Solar Energy Utilization Opportunities in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Processes" and became an Associate Professor on 8 November 1979. He also resigned from his position as Deputy Head of Education on 18 November 1979 and continued his duties as the Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Lecturer at the same Academy.

After Balıkesir DMMA was officially affiliated with Uludağ University as the Balıkesir Faculty of Engineering under the Decree-Law No. 41 on the Organization of Higher Education Institutions dated 20 July 1982, he continued his duties in the same position.

He also served as a Member of the Board of Directors of the Uludağ University Institute of Science from 24 June 1988 until 3 July 1992, when Balıkesir University was established.
