معرفی
Prof. Alper SEZER is a faculty member at Ege University's Department of Civil Engineering (Faculty of Engineering), specializing in Geotechnics. His research focuses on geotechnical engineering, earthquake effects, soil mechanics, and sustainable development. He has conducted extensive studies on soil liquefaction, seismic site effects, and post-earthquake damage assessments in regions like Antakya, Izmir, and Adıyaman. His work integrates computational methods (e.g., genetic algorithms, artificial neural networks) with experimental geotechnics to improve soil characterization and disaster resilience. He has collaborated on projects analyzing valley effects, ground motion amplification, and the mechanical behavior of soils under cyclic loading.

Research interests include geotechnical hazard mitigation, soil stabilization techniques (e.g., polymer-modified soils), and the application of fractal analysis to soil properties. His studies address practical challenges such as sulfate resistance in cement-stabilized soils and freeze-thaw resistance of fiber-reinforced materials. He has contributed to microzonation studies and seismic risk assessments in urban areas like Izmir Bay.
Publications emphasize field reconnaissance findings from major earthquakes (e.g., 2020 Samos, 2023 Türkiye earthquakes) and laboratory experiments on soil behavior under dynamic loading. Awards and recognitions are not explicitly listed in the text.
Grant activities and advising details are not provided, but his extensive publication record suggests sustained research funding. He is affiliated with geotechnical laboratories at Ege University, focusing on experimental testing and computational modeling in geotechnical engineering.
