Cemalettin Basaran is an American engineer who is currently a Professor in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York.
Basaran developed the Unified Mechanics Theory, which is ab-initio level unification of Newton’s universal laws of motion and laws of thermodynamics. He is also co-inventor of the, Electrostatic Doping Based All Graphene Nano Ribbon Tunnel Field Effect Transistor, US Patent number 10,593,7782. His research is in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics, concentrating on failure mechanics of electronic packaging materials, 2-Dimensional nano materials and particle filled composite materials under electrical, thermal and mechanical loads.
Basaran in 2011 received the American Society of Mechanics Engineers (ASME) Electronic & Photonic Packaging Division (EPPD) Excellence in Mechanics Award. In 2008 he was elected to be a ASME Fellow. He is the recipient of the US Navy Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, 1997 and Riefler Award, from the University at Buffalo, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in 1997
