Cansu Çolak

Cansu Çolak is a Researcher at the Civil Engineering Department of Istanbul Technical University (ITU), specializing in structural engineering and construction materials. She holds a PhD in Structural Engineering from ITU (2018), following a Master's (2015) and Bachelor's (2015) in Civil Engineering from the same institution. Her research focuses on material durability, sustainable construction, and the mechanical properties of concrete and mortar, particularly exploring recycled materials and environmental effects.

Her work includes studies on aggregate sources, curing temperatures, superabsorbent polymers, and fiber-reinforced concrete. She has presented at international conferences like the fib Symposium 2023 and the International Congress on Advances in Civil Engineering. Her contributions address challenges in concrete durability, coastal structures, and non-destructive testing practices in Turkey.

No scientific awards are listed. She has advised no formal students, though her collaborations include co-authors like Prof. Özkan Şengül and Hasan Yıldırım. Research activities focus on laboratory experiments and field applications, with an emphasis on sustainability and material innovation.
