Mehmet Yalçın Aydın
I am a second-year master's students at the University of Illinois, looking for roles in consultancy on technology development and innovation management. As an engineer, I am fascinated by inspiring and game-changing technologies that can shape the world. However, the current and future capabilities of these technologies should be assessed and matched to market needs by consultants.
Having worked for both multinational companies as well as for small technology startups, I have acquired technology innovation, design thinking, and product/process development skills to help your company excel and prepare for tomorrow's technology trends. Currently, I am working on the applications and impact analysis of additive manufacturing in thermo-engineering and biomedical industries. I have studied and researched the manufacturing and other technologies of the 21st century in addition to my consultancy experience. Thus I can help your company to identify and assess niche technology trends and subsequently lead a strategy for this technology-based change management.
