Host: IEEE Çukurova University Student Branch
Guest Speaker: Çağlar Ulusoy (EV Battery Manufacturing Professional @ PowerCo, Volkswagen Group)
Location: Turkuaz Cafe, Çukurova University
As part of the IEEE PES Day 2026 celebrations, the IEEE Çukurova University Student Branch is honored to host a truly distinguished guest from the epicenter of the global energy transition. In this exclusive Tea Talk session, we welcome our esteemed alumnus, Çağlar Ulusoy, who currently serves as an EV Battery Manufacturing Professional at PowerCo (Volkswagen Group) in Germany.
During this session, we will explore Ulusoy’s remarkable career trajectory, which spans over a decade across the energy, automotive, and energy storage sectors. From his foundational years at Çukurova University to leading multi-million dollar Gigafactory projects and high-tech electrode production lines, his journey serves as a blueprint for the next generation of engineers.
The discussion will delve deep into technical and strategic themes, including:
The Heart of the Energy Transition: Insights into the industrialization phases of EV battery manufacturing and the strategic importance of Gigafactories in achieving a climate-safer future.
Industrial Excellence & Innovation: His extensive experience in managing complex manufacturing systems, Industry 4.0 integrations, and implementing "Zero Defect" quality processes at global giants like Bosch and Volkswagen.
Building a Global Career: Practical advice on navigating international engineering landscapes, fostering resilience in challenging environments, and leadership lessons from high-tech manufacturing.
Beyond the technicalities, this session is designed to be a mentorship platform. Leveraging his passion for youth development, Ulusoy will inspire young engineering candidates on how to think globally, act strategically, and drive the future of the energy sector. Join us at Turkuaz Cafe for an afternoon of profound insights, professional networking, and the unique opportunity to learn from a global leader who started his journey right here on our campus.
