معرفی
Prof. Dr. Ali SEVİM is a full-time Professor at Kırşehir Ahi Evran University, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Department of Genetics and Bioengineering. He holds a PhD (2005–2010) and MSc (2002–2005) in Biology from Karadeniz Technical University, and a BA in Biology (1998–2002) from the same institution. His administrative roles include Department Head (2013–2024) and Erasmus/Farabi program coordinator (2014–2015).
His research focuses on microbiology, bacteriology, and mycology, particularly leveraging entomopathogenic fungi and bacteria for biological pest control in agriculture and forestry. Key themes include molecular characterization of pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and biocontrol agent development against pests like Leptinotarsa decemlineata and Diprion pini.
Analysis of his 15 most recent articles (2022–2025) reveals dominant trends in molecular entomopathology and biocontrol applications. Studies emphasize PCR-based pathogen screening (e.g., in honeybees and bumblebees), phylogenetics of entomopathogens (Beauveria, Micrococcus), and antagonistic fungi against plant diseases (e.g., walnut blight, apple scab). Recurring methodologies include 16S rRNA sequencing, virulence assays, and antimicrobial activity testing.
Scientific Awards:
- Bilim Teşvik Ödülü (2023, 2022; Kırşehir Ahi Evran University)
- TÜBİTAK Publication Incentive Awards (2010–2012) for pest management research
- PhD Scholarship (YÖK, 2007) and Erasmus Grant (2007)
Advising & Grants: Supervised MSc student Ömer Çelebi (2012) on bacterial flora of Eurygaster integriceps. Secured 36 projects, including TÜBİTAK-funded studies on entomopathogen isolation (e.g., from walnut fields, potato beetles) and antimicrobial characterization (e.g., soil Bacillaceae). Current projects target MRSA in clinical settings (2024–2026).
