2025 Nov. I am running for a good cause! On November 2, 2025, I am participating in the Istanbul Marathon, running for the Education is my Hope Scholarship to support children with cancer through the Hope Foundation for Children with Cancer (Kanserli Çocuklara Umut Vakfı - KAÇUV). Visit my campaign page here to see the current supporters, track the fundraising progress, and make a donation. Sharing the link with your friends and loved ones would also be a valuable contribution to this meaningful cause. KAÇUV Education is my Hope Scholarship Program helps students diagnosed with cancer continue their education and look to the future with hope. In the 2024–2025 academic year, this program supported 5 preschool, 70 primary, 46 middle, 55 high school, and 124 university students.
2025 Jun. I presented the paper titled 'Design and Analysis of Wire Rope Fatigue Testing Experimental Setup' at the 24th International Congress on Vertical Transportation Technologies held in Lisbon, Portugal, on September 17-19, 2025. To read the Elevatori Magazine Report
2025 Mar. As of March 2025, I have been appointed as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Istanbul Technical University. I previously served as a Research Assistant from 2010 to 2018 and as a Lecturer from 2018 to 2025 within the same faculty.
2024 Oct. We presented three papers titled 'Experimental Setup for Determining the Fatigue Life of Elevator Steel Wire Ropes', 'Structural Analysis and Design of Elevator Consoles Under Seismic Loads', and 'Damage Occurring in Hospital Elevators in Earthquake Zones' at the XI. İzmir Elevator Symposium, 17-19 October 2024, İzmir, Türkiye. link
2023 Sept. I presented the paper titled 'Ordinary State-based Peridynamic Modelling of Crack Propagation in Functionally Graded Materials with Micro Cracks under Impact Loading' at the International Conference on Modeling Complexity in Mechanics held in Alghero, Sardinia, Italy, on September 25-29, 2023.
2023 Sept. As a Post-Doctoral Researcher, I conducted a one-year academic visit at the University of Strathclyde, PeriDynamics Research Centre, UK, with the support of the TÜBİTAK 2219 project titled "Modelling and Analysis of Fracture Behaviours of Functionally Graded Materials Under Impact Load using Peridynamics."
2023 June I presented two papers titled 'Glacier Reconstruction on Anatolian Mountains Inferred from Ice Flow Modeling' and 'Modeling of Dynamic Crack Propagation in Ice Subjected to Impact Load using Peridynamics' at the 27th International Conference on Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions, POAC 2023, held in Glasgow, UK, from June 12 to 16, 2023.
