Mechatronics Lab at Temple University, led by Dr. Osman Sayginer, is an interdisciplinary research hub that integrates mechanics, electronics, and informatics to develop comprehensive solutions for contemporary engineering challenges. The lab’s expertise spans optical and acoustic systems, sensor technologies, rapid prototyping, and the development of functional devices using novel materials. It also explores physics informed machine learning, data acquisition, and intelligent automation. With a holistic approach that bridges theory and hands on experimentation, the lab drives innovation in smart systems and advanced engineering design. Current research includes conceptual development of drone defense technologies, early failure detection of materials using acoustic emission, and the design of mechanical metamaterials.
