Academic Profile

About

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (Energy Division) at Karabük University. My research focuses on energy and exergy analysis, heat transfer enhancement, and renewable energy technologies — with particular specialization in photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) systems, MHD flows, and waste heat recovery.

My work bridges theoretical thermodynamics with practical engineering, developing sustainable thermal management solutions for industrial processes and renewable energy integration. I have published extensively in SCI-indexed journals, supervised over 20 Master's and 2 Ph.D. theses, and serve as a peer reviewer for leading international journals in my field.

I welcome new academic collaborations and interdisciplinary research projects.
