AYDIN ÖZBAY serves as a Lecturer in the Civil Engineering Technology Department at Gaziantep University's Vocational School of Higher Education since 2009, specializing in practical civil engineering education for construction technology students.
Education:
- Doctorate in Geotechnical Engineering, Gaziantep University Faculty of Engineering (2008)
- Master of Science in Civil Engineering, Gaziantep University Institute of Science (2002-2004)
- Licence in Civil Engineering, Gaziantep University Faculty of Engineering (1997-2002)
His research centers on experimental geotechnics, with emphasis on soil behavior under triaxial loading, granular material mechanics, and slope stability analysis. He employs laboratory testing (notably soil triaxial tests documented in course materials) combined with numerical modeling to investigate phenomena like stick-slip behavior in granular media and landslide mechanisms in Turkish mining contexts.
Publications from 2008-2021 reveal a consistent focus on Turkey-specific geotechnical challenges, progressing from seismic hazard assessment to advanced granular material experiments. His work bridges fundamental soil mechanics with practical engineering applications, particularly in mining and urban infrastructure contexts.
As an educator, he develops comprehensive course resources including soil testing guides and reinforced concrete design materials. His teaching portfolio spans Soil Mechanics I/II, Reinforced Concrete (GMINT 232), Building Installations, and Construction Quantity/Cost estimation, emphasizing hands-on technical skills for vocational students.
