I am an Associate Professor and computational scientist at Antalya Bilim University, where I serve as Head of the Department of Computer Technologies and hold cross-appointments in the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences and the College of Business. My research lies at the intersection of computational mathematics, numerical methods, and scientific computing, with a particular emphasis on stabilized finite element methods for convection-dominated and multiscale partial differential equations arising in fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, and transport phenomena.
Research focus
A central theme of my work is the application, development and analysis of stabilized finite element frameworks for nonlinear, high-Reynolds-number, and thermochemical nonequilibrium systems. More recently, I have been actively pursuing hybrid numerical–machine learning methodologies, integrating physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) with stabilized finite element solvers to enhance robustness, accuracy, and computational efficiency in challenging regimes where classical methods alone face limitations.
Education and career
I received my Ph.D. in Scientific Computing from Middle East Technical University, where my doctoral dissertation was recognized with a Doctoral Thesis Award. I subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at Rice University (Mechanical Engineering), focusing on turbocharger turbine flow simulations. I was also awarded a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford; this visit has been postponed due to institutional scheduling. Beginning in June 2026, I will join Uppsala University (Department of Materials Science and Engineering) as a postdoctoral research fellow, where I will work on dendrite formation control in lithium-metal batteries, combining numerical simulation with experimental validation.
Funding, teaching, and service
My research has been supported by multiple TÜBİTAK-funded (the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) projects as Principal Investigator. Beyond research, I am actively involved in teaching numerical analysis, calculus, computational fluid dynamics, and programming, and I regularly serve as a reviewer for leading international journals in applied mathematics and computational mechanics.
