• Biography

  Jesanis Endowed Chair Prof. Çetinkaya’s background is in acoustic/thermoelastic wave propagation, dynamics, vibration, computer algebra, and computational/analytical mechanics. His applications/interest areas include nano/micro-particle and biological cell adhesion, acoustic micro-devices, drug delivery modalities, laser-based nondestructive testing/evaluation, and non-invasive real-time monitoring of manufacturing processes. He received his B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering from Istanbul Technical University in 1986, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in 1991 and 1995, respectively. In 1995-97, he worked for Wolfram Research, Inc. (Mathematica) as a researcher and a project coordinator, while serving as an adjunct assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Currently, he is a professor of mechanical engineering at Clarkson University, and is serving as the director of the Photo-Acoustics Research (PAR) Laboratory. Some representative externally-funded projects at the PAR Lab include dynamic behavior of ligand-receptor catch bonds (funded by NSF), transdermal drug delivery with micro-needle devices (New World Pharmaceutics), adhesion and detachment of non-uniformly charged nano/micro-particles (NSF, Intel and Xerox), micro-rotational disk mass sensors (ARO/CAMP/Clarkson), and design/testing/evaluation of small-scale sensor structures (NSF/CAMP/Clarkson), and the mechanical property characterization of solid dosage forms/pharmaceutical materials (Pfizer). Over the years, the PAR Lab has received several research grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Intel, SEMATECH, Xerox Corp., Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer Inc., the US Army Research Office, Consortium for the Advancement of Manufacturing in Pharmaceuticals, Praxair/Electronics, as well as Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP) at Clarkson and the New York State sources. The research carried out at the PAR Lab has been published and/or accepted for publication in 90 peer-reviewed journal articles as well as several conference proceedings and book chapters. Based on his research with Pfizer and Wyeth and associated IP, Prof. Çetinkaya has founded a start-up spin-off company, Pharmacoustics Technologies, LLC, offering characterization and manufacturing monitoring instruments and IP to the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. He is a member and a faculty advisor for the Clarkson chapter of the Tau Beta Pi Association (Engineering Honor Society). Prof. Çetinkaya is an ASME Fellow.
