Yaman Yener (October 18, 1946 - June 14, 2013) was an internationally renowned Turkish-American scientist.

Biography
Dr. Yaman Yener was Senior Associate Dean of Engineering for Faculty Affairs and Carl R. Hurtig Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Northeastern University, Boston, MA. He received his BS (1968) and MS (1970) degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Turkey, and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from North Carolina State University in 1973. He was on METU faculty from 1974 to 1980, holding positions as Assistant and Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering. He served as the Chairman of the Mechanical Engineering Department at METU between 1978 and 1980. He was at the University of Delaware as Visiting Associate Professor from 1980 to 1982. He subsequently joined Northeastern University as Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering in 1982. He was Acting Chairman of the department from July 1989 through December 1990.

Dr. Yaman Yener was Associate Dean of Engineering for Research and Graduate Studies between 1993 and 2010. In that capacity, he served as Director of the Graduate School of Engineering, and coordinated and promoted research activities within the College. Starting from 1993, he helped direct the College’s research efforts with a comprehensive and focused agenda to accomplish Northeastern’s mission of gaining recognition as a national research institution. He was directly in charge of three interdisciplinary Master’s level graduate programs: Information Systems, Computer Systems Engineering (Engineering Software Design and CAD/CAM), and Telecommunication Systems Management. He played a leadership role in the development of a new interdisciplinary PhD program in Bioengineering and a new professional master’s program in Energy Systems, both began in fall 2009.

Starting from 1993, he directed the research efforts of the faculty and researchers of the College of Engineering with a comprehensive and focused agenda to accomplish Northeastern University’s mission of gaining recognition as a national research institution. During 2001-2002 College’s faculty and researchers attracted $19.7 million in external funding to support their research and scholarly activities. This represents a steady increase of more than two-fold over the period of Dr. Yener’s tenure as Associate Dean.

In 1997 Dr. Yener established the College’s Industrial Liaison Program to foster and maintain customized, responsive, long-term relationships between the College and Industry to stimulate collaborative research activities. This program assisted companies in identifying and accessing College of Engineering faculty expertise and research centers and works to foster Industry-University partnerships. Frequent campus visits by industry personnel and company site visits by the faculty became a regular activity.

In addition to coordinating the efforts of individual faculty and groups of faculty, Dr. Yener played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Center for Advanced Microgravity Materials Processing (CAMMP) at Northeastern University in 1997. CAMMP was one of only 10 NASA centers under the Space Product Division at major universities nationwide and the only one exclusively focused on materials science. Its mission was to stimulate innovations in materials technology and to develop commercial products through knowledge gained from ground-based and, where appropriate, microgravity research.

Dr. Yener helped secure a $16.2 million grant to establish a new National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center at Northeastern University. The Center for Subsurface Sensing and Imaging Systems (CenSSIS) is one of only two such facilities in the country to be funded by NSF in 2000. With partners at Boston University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the University of Puerto Rico, researchers from all programs along with more than 20 industry partners collaborate to study and implement a wide variety of subsurface imaging applications.

Dr. Yener also played a key role for the establishment of the Nanomanufacturing Research Institute at Northeastern University in 2001 to initiate a state-of-the-art research program in nanoscale manufacturing. The Institute builds on Northeastern's existing strengths in microfabrication, materials processing, and sensor technology and nanoscale materials physics by forming powerful collaborations among the mechanical, electrical, chemical engineering, physics and chemistry departments. The Institute also houses the Center for Microcontamination Control – an NSF Industry/University Research Center.

A substantial increase in scholarly publications by the College’s faculty also affirmed Dr. Yener’s leadership in solidifying the College’s research position. During his tenor, the number of archival journal publications authored by the faculty and their contributions to national and international scientific and technical conference proceedings rised 70 per cent.

Further proof of Dr. Yener’s leadership in promoting the research agenda was evidenced by his initiative in establishing the College of Engineering Research Development Forum. Dr. Yener regularly coordinated visits by key people from various funding agencies for meetings with the faculty and researchers. Dr. Yener also coordinated College of Engineering faculty team visits to funding agencies in Washington, D.C. at least once every year. He initiated and chaired a committee for the College of Engineering Research Award to honor two faculty members/researchers every year for their meritorious research contribution.
