معرفی
Hakan CAN is a full-time Lecturer at Kastamonu University, currently serving in the Vocational School's Department of Computer Technologies since 2022 and at the Center for Distance Education since 2020. He concurrently holds the position of Assistant Director of the Research and Application Center since 2023. Previously, he was a Lecturer and Department Head at the Araç Rafet Vergili Vocational School from 2013 to 2022, demonstrating sustained institutional commitment across multiple academic units.
His academic credentials include a BSc in Computer Engineering from Kastamonu University (2021), an Associate Degree in Computer Technologies from Anadolu University (2019-2021), an MSc in Forest Engineering with thesis from Kastamonu University (2018-2020), and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Education and Educational Technologies from Ege University (2004-2010), reflecting interdisciplinary expertise spanning computer science and environmental engineering.
CAN's research centers on Fuzzy Logic applications, with significant extensions into Machine Learning for medical diagnostics and strategic forest management systems. His work bridges computational intelligence with practical environmental and healthcare challenges, particularly through SWOT-FAHP methodologies for sustainable forestry and automated machine learning models for HCV prediction. This interdisciplinary approach demonstrates unique convergence of computer science principles with domain-specific environmental and medical applications.
Analysis of his publication trajectory reveals progressive methodological sophistication—from foundational forest road management studies (2021-2022) to advanced medical prediction systems (2025)—indicating expanding application domains while maintaining core computational intelligence techniques. The consistent focus on real-world problem solving across environmental and healthcare sectors highlights his translational research orientation.
No scientific awards or honors are documented in available records.
Regarding academic mentorship, CAN has not supervised any theses to date. While no externally funded projects are reported, his sustained collaborations with researchers like Korhan Enez (4 joint publications) and Ramazan Erdem (2 joint publications) indicate active participation in university-level research initiatives, particularly within Kastamonu's environmental engineering domain.
His primary research ecosystem operates within Kastamonu University's interdisciplinary networks, especially with the Forest Engineering group, where he applies computational modeling to sedimentation analysis, soil loss equations, and strategic infrastructure management in forestry contexts.
