Dr. Ece (Eseller) Bayat is currently Assistant Professor at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Department of Civil Engineering, Istanbul, Turkey. She received her bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey in 2002. She earned Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering at Northeastern University, Boston MA in 2004 and 2009, respectively.
Her research is specialized in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, focusing on liquefaction of sands during earthquakes, liquefaction mitigation, shaking table testing of soils, nondestructive testing of large soil samples, and seismic evaluation of artifacts and estimation of site-specific soil behavior using downhole arrays. She has served as a research and teaching assistant for several years at Northeastern University and received Outstanding Teaching Award in 2004. She teaches civil engineering classes at undergraduate and graduate levels.
She served as Assistant to ITU president for strategic planning for two years.Currently she is vice dean of dual degree international programs at ITU.
