Selçuk KORKMAZ

Selçuk KORKMAZ is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at Trakya University Faculty of Medicine. His interdisciplinary research bridges computational methods with biomedical applications, focusing on machine learning approaches for biological data analysis.

Educational Background:

• Bachelor's Degree (2008): Ege University Faculty of Science, Department of Statistics
• Master's Degree (2011): Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics
• Doctoral Degree (2016): Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Biostatistics

Dr. Korkmaz's research primarily focuses on machine learning applications in biostatistics, with particular emphasis on epigenetics, proteomics, and computer-aided drug design. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between computational methods and clinical applications. He has developed novel approaches for biological assembly evaluation and protein-protein interface analysis during his visiting scientist position at the RCSB Protein Data Bank (University of California, San Diego) from April 2015 to March 2016.

His recent publication trend shows a strong focus on developing computational tools (particularly R packages) for biomedical data analysis, with significant contributions in protein data bank interfaces, chemical database access, and biological variation analysis. His work spans multiple disciplines including bioinformatics, medical imaging analysis, and drug discovery applications.

Dr. Korkmaz has served as an Assistant Professor at Trakya University since 2017 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2021. Prior to this, he worked as a Research Assistant at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine Department of Biostatistics from June 2012 to November 2016.
