Buğra is an MSCA doctoral candidate from Türkiye. While his formal education is in physics and optics, he is an aviation enthusiast. Early in his childhood, he engaged himself with high fidelity flight simulators, spent thousands of hours in practicing real world flight operations; radio navigation, precision/non-precision approaches, abnormal operations, and beyond. Having access to flight simulators with many aircraft types, documentation and textbooks, he expanded his knowledge of aircraft systems. Apart from technical readings, he cultivated himself with principles of crew resource management (CRM) and safety regulations e.g., EASA Part-145. This self-driven pursuit has given him a theoretical and practical understanding of aviation. With his experience in fibre optical sensors and passion in aviation, he joined the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft to advance the SHM and NDT technologies in the field. Aside from his professional life, he is an amateur cyclist enjoys going for performance rides. He appreciates the music between 60-90s and adores the masterpieces of Sergei Rachmaninoff.
