ABOUT

I am a mechanical engineer working at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Istanbul Technical University as a Lecturer. Currently, I am conducting my post-doctoral research at the University of Strathclyde PeriDynamics Research Centre in the UK. My interests lie in all aspects of numerical modeling, specifically in the investigation of crack propagation and dynamic fracture mechanisms in brittle materials using Peridynamics, as well as their application in functionally graded materials. In addition to this, I am working on glacier mechanics to reconstruct paleoglaciers and investigate the relationship between paleoclimate and recent climate changes. I am also investigating glacier fracture and calving mechanisms to improve my understanding of glacier dynamics.
