Erdem Yılmaz is currently working as a Structural Analysis Engineer with a strong focus on defense and aerospace applications. He earned his B.Sc. degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from Yıldız Technical University in 2022. Throughout his career, he has held structural analysis positions at leading companies including FE-TECH Advanced Engineering, OTOKAR (automotive and defense industry), and TRMOTOR (aircraft engine technologies). His work has primarily involved the analysis of aerospace materials and composites, as well as detailed assessments of aircraft engine gear systems. He specializes in modal, strength, and explicit dynamic analyses. His current research interests include advanced simulation methods in aviation, material behavior under extreme conditions, and performance-based design. He actively follows developments in computational engineering and continues to contribute to the structural safety and optimization of next-generation propulsion systems. He has investigated the structural behavior and dynamic response of aerospace alloys, fiber–metal laminates, and aircraft engine gear trains, focusing on modal, strength, and fatigue analyses. Currently, he specializes in explicit-dynamics simulations of impact and crashworthiness, delamination in additively manufactured aviation parts, and multiscale performance-based design for next-generation propulsion systems.
