Özgür Cengiz graduated from Afyon Kocatepe University, Engineering Faculty, Department of Ceramic Engineering (Materials Science and Engineering Dept. at present) in 2003 and got her Ph.D. from Anadolu University, Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences, Ceramic Engineering Department, Eskisehir-Turkey in 2011. Her main field of research is about developments in ceramic tile processing in an attempt to achieve cost and energy-efficient applications, enhancing the properties by using new formulations and alternative raw materials; silicate ceramics, and geopolymers. She also holds a postgraduate degree in 3DPA from IaaC, Barcelona-Spain where she studied 3d printing of clay and/or earth-based sustainable materials. In addition to her scientific interests, she became a student member of the American Ceramic Society and got a scholarship in 2010 given by the Basic Science Division of ACerS (Young Professionals Travel Scholarship) and has been an associate member since 2011. She received a postgraduate fellowship given by the Turkish Ceramic Society between 2005-2009 and a researcher fellowship given by Ege Ceramic Co., İzmir-Turkey between 2009-2011. She attended several international congresses and gave oral or interactive poster communications. She is now an assistant professor at Afyon Kocatepe University, Department of Ceramic, Fine Arts Faculty since 2012.

Turning Waste into Raw Materials for the Ceramic Industry.
Waste materials were once seen as a burden but are increasingly being redefined as valuable resources for ceramic production. Through advances in materials engineering, waste can be used as secondary raw materials in the ceramic industry. This shift enables more circular and resource-efficient ceramic manufacturing systems.

Implementing 3D-Printed Technical Ceramics in Regulated Medical Fields.
Bringing a new manufacturing technology into medicine requires far more than producing an impressive component. In highly regulated fields, innovation must be translated into repeatable processes, documented quality, reliable materials and, ultimately, evidence of clinical value. Lithoz has spent more than a decade building this bridge for Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM).
