Mechanical Engineer – Tolga Kurtoglu
After successfully earning a Masters of Science degree in the field of Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2001, Tolga Kurtoglu started working as a Mechanical Design Engineer for the Dell computer company, a leading firm within the technology sector. Tolga Kurtoglu was ready to take some time off from school and work in the real world instead, and while at Dell he was eventually promoted from Mechanical Design Engineer to the position of Lead Systems Engineer. This promotion gave Tolga Kurtoglu a lot of responsibility when it came to leading a team, and he proved to be a natural leader. Tolga Kurtoglu worked at the Dell computer company from August 2001 until January 2004.
After leaving the Dell computer company, Tolga Kurtoglu started a doctoral program in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, which he completed in 2007. While studing at the University of Texas at Austin, Tolga Kurtoglu was responsible for developing a new computational theory by combining reverse engineering techniques and graph theoretical method to automate the architectural design of electromechanical systems. This dissertation work has proven to be highly influential in the field of mechanical engineering and other engineers and researhers use this technique today in various computational design synthesis applications.
