معرفی
Professor Ferit Ozturk is a faculty member in the Mathematics Department at Boğaziçi University, Turkey. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Middle East Technical University (2001), an MS in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bilkent University (1993), and a BS in Physics and Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bilkent University (1990). His research focuses on singularity theory, contact and symplectic topology, real algebraic topology, and dynamical systems in robotics. He has led projects such as the BAP-13082 on Morse-Bott functions (2018) and the TÜBİTAK-109T671 on three-dimensional real contact multilayers (2010–2013). Professor Ozturk has advised numerous Ph.D. and master’s students, including Merve Seyhun Cengiz and Şeyma Karadereli. His work spans theoretical contributions to contact structures and algebraic geometry, with recent publications in journals like Advances in Geometry and the Michigan Mathematical Journal. He has also contributed to robotics through studies on optimal task adjacency in multirobot systems.
