Semra Ahmetolan

Semra Ahmetolan serves as a Professor in the Department of Mathematics Engineering at Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Istanbul, Turkey. Her research spans mathematical physics and nonlinear wave phenomena with applications in engineering systems.

Her research focuses on nonlinear wave propagation in complex media, including shear horizontal waves in layered elastic structures, asymptotic analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations, and mathematical modeling of vibration problems. Key areas include Schrödinger equations, nonlinear modulation, and wave resonance phenomena in heterogeneous materials.

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate consistent output in wave mechanics and mathematical physics, with significant contributions to understanding nonlinear periodic waves, Lamb wave propagation, and elastic layer dynamics. Her work bridges theoretical mathematics with practical engineering applications.

Professor Ahmetolan leads active research projects including Düzensiz Sınır Koşullarına Sahip Değişik Tabakalı Heterojen Ortamlarda Elastik Dalgaların Yayılım (2024-2026) and has previously directed projects on digital disaster platforms and dispersive shock wave solutions.

She advises graduate students (6 supervised works documented) and collaborates internationally, with research outputs spanning journals like Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Physik and Wave Motion. Her ORCID profile (0000-0003-1003-7918) documents 25 research outputs and 3 projects since 2003.
