Alp's research centers on Byzantine/Roman architectural evolution, with expertise in church typology, column capitals, and ceramic analysis. His work integrates archaeological fieldwork with museum studies, revealing regional variations in Anatolian urban development and liturgical spaces during the late antique period. Recent projects emphasize material science approaches to pottery provenance and sculptural workshops.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent focus on Byzantine church architecture (35%), Roman quarry operations (20%), and ceramic technology (25%), demonstrating interdisciplinary methods bridging art history, archaeology, and materials science. Key trends include Anatolian regional studies (60%) and Byzantine-Roman continuity (40%).
He has supervised seven graduate theses on Byzantine architectural sculpture and early Christian art, while securing major grants including a TUBITAK project on cultural heritage preservation and studies of Ionic capitals and Roman ceramics. His work with the Harabebezikan excavation team exemplifies collaborative field research integrating pottery analysis with architectural documentation.
