Our Alumnus Dr. Hasan Çağlar Honored with Richard Dolby-Rolls-Royce Award

Dr. Hasan Çağlar, a graduate of the Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Program at Özyeğin University, has been honored with the Richard Dolby/Rolls-Royce Award in recognition of his doctoral research at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. The Richard Dolby - Rolls Royce Award is presented biennially by The Welding Institute’s Young Members’ Committee by a distinguished panel of judges to recognize outstanding researchers under 35. Dr. Çağlar received the distinction for his presentation on the debonding of carbon fibre veil interleaved adhesively bonded GFRP joints via Joule heating. The award ceremony was held on October 16, 2024.

Dr. Çağlar’s research presents an innovative approach to enhancing the structural integrity of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites while facilitating controlled debonding via the Joule heating method. The study stands out for its potential to optimize the debonding process of adhesively bonded joints in particular in the aerospace, energy, and automotive industries.
