معرفی
Emre Ilgin is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow within the Faculty of Built Environment at Tampere University, specializing in Civil Engineering. His research focuses on timber construction, structural engineering, and sustainable architecture, with a particular emphasis on tall timber buildings and fire safety solutions. He holds a strong interest in analyzing space efficiency in supertall towers, aerodynamic design considerations, and innovative timber-based construction technologies. His work bridges architectural innovation with structural practicality, addressing challenges in contemporary building practices while advocating for eco-friendly materials and methods.
Key research areas include cross-laminated timber (CLT) applications, dovetail massive wood board elements, and the integration of renewable energy systems into tall structures. Ilgin has contributed to over 60 peer-reviewed articles since 2021, with recent studies evaluating fire performance comparisons between dovetail and CLT elements, analyzing global supertall building typologies, and examining Finnish timber construction trends. His work frequently addresses the interplay between architectural form, structural integrity, and environmental sustainability.
Ilgin’s expertise extends to suburban development strategies in Finland, wood preservation practices, and life-cycle assessments of hybrid, concrete, and timber apartment buildings. His research also explores residents’ perceptions of timber apartment living and the future prospects of cross-laminated timber in global construction markets. He is actively involved in experimental studies on sound insulation properties of timber elements and the aerodynamic optimization of tapered supertall forms.
While no specific awards or grants are highlighted, his extensive publication record reflects a dedication to advancing sustainable construction practices and tall timber building technologies. Ilgin collaborates with international experts and industry stakeholders, aiming to shape future standards in eco-conscious architectural and engineering design.
