MEHMET ÖZEL

I am a Mechanical Engineer with a strong theoretical and practical background in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), aerodynamics, and thermal–fluid systems, and I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. I have solid knowledge of fluid dynamics, gas dynamics, turbomachinery aerodynamics, and heat transfer. During my experience at Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), I worked on the aerodynamic design and optimization of fighter aircraft cockpit ventilation systems using OpenFOAM.

I am proficient in CFD tools, particularly ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM, and experienced in performing parametric analyses, optimization studies, and data-driven engineering decision-making. In addition to my technical background, my role at Otokoç Automotive enabled me to develop strong skills in planning, stakeholder coordination, time management, and cross-functional teamwork. I am an analytical, adaptable, and results-oriented engineer with strong communication skills and a continuous learning mindset, aiming to specialize in aerospace, turbomachinery, and advanced CFD applications.
