Shari earned his Bachelor’s (2017) and Master’s (2020) degrees cum laude in Mechanical Engineering from Bilkent University in Ankara, Türkiye. His undergraduate thesis focused on optimizing the ice‑cream mix freezing process at the Unilever Algida pilot plant in Istanbul, where he gained early experience applying engineering principles to real industrial challenges. During his Master’s studies, he developed a numerical algorithm to simulate the behaviour of viscoelastic fluids in lubricated contacts under cavitation. He went on to pursue an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) at the University of Twente, where he developed a tongue‑equivalent tribological platform to assess the astringency induced by plant‑based proteins. Shari later completed his PhD in 2025, also at the University of Twente, focusing on lubrication loss in wet epithelial tissues during sliding contact, phenomena central to surfaces of the eyes, oral cavity and internal mucosal linings. As part of his doctoral work, he conducted research as a visiting scholar at the University of Sheffield, examining how mucous proteins influence friction and epithelial tissue damage.
Courses in the current academic year are added at the moment they are finalised in the Osiris system. Therefore it is possible that the list is not yet complete for the whole academic year.
