Dr. BOZDOĞAN's educational background reflects a strong foundation in biological sciences, with formal training spanning multiple international institutions including Vilnius University in Lithuania and University of Oxford in England. His postdoctoral training at Oxford represents the latest advancement in his academic credentials.
His research primarily focuses on Entomology, Ecology, and Animal Systematics, with particular expertise in Neuroptera (lacewings), Chrysopidae (green lacewings), and biological control methods. His work demonstrates a strong emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices, natural pest control methods, and biodiversity conservation. He has extensively studied the ecology and behavior of various insect groups, particularly in Mediterranean ecosystems.
Analysis of his recent publications (2023-2025) reveals a consistent research trajectory centered on natural pest control methods using plant-derived compounds. His work spans chemical composition analysis of essential oils, their insecticidal properties against stored grain pests, and ecological studies of aquatic and terrestrial insect communities. The publications demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches combining entomology, chemistry, and ecology to develop sustainable agricultural solutions.
- International Scientific Publication Incentive Award TÜBİTAK (2019-2025, annually)
- Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Academic Achievement Award in Natural Sciences (2023)
Dr. BOZDOĞAN has successfully supervised graduate students, including Hasan Rauf Yazıcı's Master's thesis on antlion genital structures. His research portfolio includes numerous national and international projects, particularly those focusing on sustainable agriculture and biodiversity. His collaborative work spans multiple countries including Thailand, Nigeria, China, Vietnam, and various European nations, demonstrating strong international research partnerships.
His laboratory work focuses on insect ecology, particularly studying lacewing assemblages in different habitats across Turkey's Eastern Mediterranean region. Recent projects include investigations into post-fire population changes of lacewings, biodiversity impacts of anthropogenic activities, and developing natural pest control methods as alternatives to chemical pesticides.
