Gürkan Sin

Gürkan Sin is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). He leads research in process systems engineering, focusing on interdisciplinary challenges in chemical, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. His work integrates process modeling, simulation, optimization under uncertainty, and environmental impact analysis. Key affiliations include the KT Consortium and PROSYS (Process and Systems Engineering Centre).

Education: PhD from Ghent University (2004), MSc and BSc from Middle East Technical University (METU, Turkey). Prior to DTU, he was an Assistant Professor there from 2008–2010.

Research interests span process design for wastewater treatment, biorefineries, and biopharmaceuticals, with emphasis on sustainability and AI-driven solutions. Notable contributions include global sensitivity analysis, Monte Carlo methods, and virtual sensor technologies for large-scale processes.

Advises PhD students in areas like machine learning for molecular design, risk assessment in chemical processes, and sustainable energy systems. Projects often involve collaborations with industry partners for practical implementation. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in clean energy and responsible consumption.

Labs/Teams: PROSYS Centre and KT Consortium, where interdisciplinary teams tackle complex industrial challenges through advanced modeling and data analytics.
