Doğa Doğan

Doğa Doğan is a Professor in the Department of Geophysical Engineering at Istanbul Technical University. His primary research focuses on geophysical modeling of fluid circulation in fault systems, geothermal energy systems, and tectonic influences on geological processes. He has led major projects including the 'Numerical Modeling of the Effect of the Gediz Graben Detachment Fault' and 'Investigation of Geothermal Potential of Izmir Region'.

His work combines geophysics, hydrogeology, and numerical simulation to study fluid dynamics in complex geological settings like the Gediz Graben and the Sea of Marmara. Key projects involve finite volume modeling techniques to analyze heat distribution and fluid flow in fault-controlled environments.

Dr. Doğan has published extensively on fault architecture impacts, geothermal reservoir characterization, and the interplay between tectonics and hydrological systems. His research has contributed to understanding deep hydrothermal systems in back-arc basins and the thermal regimes of active fault zones.

He currently leads the BAP-funded project 'Karadenizde Gaz Hidratların Duraylılığını Etkileyen Faktörlerin Sonlu Hacimler Yöntemi Kullanılarak Araştırılması', exploring gas hydrate stability factors using numerical methods.
