Burak Zincir

Burak Zincir is an Associate Professor in the Department of Marine Engineering at Istanbul Technical University. His research focuses on sustainable alternative fuels, decarbonization strategies in maritime transportation, and environmental impact analysis of marine technologies. He has led projects such as the 'Sustainable Biofuel Assessment Model for Maritime Transportation' and 'Determination and Analysis of Risk Factors in Ammonia-Fueled Ship Fuel Supply System.'

His work emphasizes alternative fuels like hydrogen, ammonia, and biofuels, alongside regulatory compliance with international standards (e.g., IMO criteria). He has received the 'Most Successful Doctoral Thesis Award 2019' in 2020, recognizing his contributions to maritime decarbonization research. Recent publications explore CCS-SCR integration, hydrogen fuel cells for cargo ships, and lifecycle emissions of biofuels. His projects often involve case studies analyzing fuel viability, policy implications, and energy efficiency improvements in maritime systems.

Zincir's research collaborations span environmental engineering, renewable energy integration, and shipping policy analysis. He actively contributes to global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through innovative fuel solutions and sustainable maritime practices.
