Zekai Murat Kilic

Zekai Murat Kilic is a Lecturer in Digital Manufacturing at The University of Manchester, Department of Mechanical Engineering. His research focuses on integrating kinematics, process, and control models in a virtual environment to support Industry 4.0 goals, particularly through the use of real-time data from manufacturing plants. Kilic's work involves linking simulated behavior of digitized machine models with actual process data to enhance process control and optimization. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Generalized Modelling of Flexible Machining Systems from the University of British Columbia and a Master of Science in Nonlinear Dynamic Modeling and Analysis of Spindle-Tool Assemblies from Middle East Technical University.

Z. Murat Kilic is a researcher at The University of Manchester, specializing in mechanical vibrations, machining, and process monitoring. His work focuses on developing unified models for cutting operations, including turning, boring, drilling, and milling, with an emphasis on chatter stability, cutting forces, and surface location errors. Kilic also explores advanced monitoring techniques for tool wear and in-process force coefficients, as well as the dynamics of multi-axis machining and additive manufacturing. His research integrates mechanical modeling, energy-based chatter detection, and virtual prediction of contour errors, contributing to improved precision and efficiency in machining systems.
