Mr Eray Kayar graduated with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the Gazi University in 2012 and completed his two-year mechanical engineering MSc Programme in 2019 at Y?ld?z Technical University, Istanbul. He studied structural analysis; specialising in durability, noise & mechanical vibrations, and structural integrity & impact analyses using finite element and statistical energy analysis methods. His MSc dissertation is based on the optimization of metal crash-boxes used for a lightweight automotive. He performed more than 30 projects with demonstrated experience (+9 years) & proven expertise in aerospace, automotive and energy industries while he was working for Turkish Aerospace, BMC Power and Figes including soft body impact (bird-strike) explicit finite element analysis of composite wing using SPH method. He started his PhD in the ACRG at Queen¡¯s University Belfast in January 2022 in collaboration with Spirit AeroSystems (formerly Bombardier). His research is focused on a novel composite wing leading-edge design which will be directly implemented in new-generation aircraft. The bird-strike analyses are going to be performed within his study towards certification.
