Semih Akin's research centers on advanced manufacturing techniques, particularly additive manufacturing (3D printing) and cold spray deposition, applied to creating smart metallic structures with embedded sensors for real-time monitoring. This work spans applications from structural health monitoring and energy harvesting devices to novel materials for extreme environments, including lunar surface applications. Note that a few unrelated publications on medical topics (oncology, diabetes) appear in the record and likely belong to a different author sharing the same name.
