Yiğit TURAN

Graduate Chemical Engineer / Master’s Student at FAU

Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany

About

I am a chemical engineer completing an M.Sc. in Clean Energy Processes (FAU), specialising in electrochemical systems. I have research experience in lithium recovery and electrochemical cell testing (Tokyo University, May–Jul 2025), and I thrive on hands-on, field-oriented work that requires resilience and adaptability. I perform well under physically and logistically challenging conditions and require minimal logistical support essentially reliable meals and time to exercise to maintain my performance. This discipline helps me stay focused, safe, and productive on long shifts, remote deployments, or intensive lab campaigns. I am actively seeking roles where fieldwork, pilot testing, or harsh-environment operations are an asset.
