Professor, Firat University, Elazig, Turkey.

Dr. Osman Adiguzel graduated from the Department of Physics, Ankara University, Turkey in 1974 and received PhD- degree from Dicle University, Diyarbakir-Turkey. He studied at Surrey University, Guildford, UK, as a post-doctoral research scientist in 1986-1987, and his studies focused on shape memory alloys. He worked as a research assistant, from 1975-80, at Dicle University and shifted to Firat University in 1980. He became a professor in 1996, and he retired due to the age limit of 67, following an academic life of 45 years.
