معرفی
Hakan Osman Caldag is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Mathematics at the University of York, collaborating with Prof. Martin Bees on biological fluid dynamics. He earned his PhD (2020) and MSc (2016) from Sabanci University in Istanbul, focusing on hydrodynamics of artificial microswimmers under magnetic and acoustic fields.
Education:
- PhD in Engineering and Natural Sciences, Sabanci University (2020)
- MSc in Engineering and Natural Sciences, Sabanci University (2016)
His research specializes in active matter systems, particularly microswimmer propulsion in confined environments. Key methodologies include computational modeling of Taylor dispersion, Fourier analysis for boundary interactions, and experimental characterization of magnetic/acoustic actuation. Current work addresses dispersion control in oscillatory flows and stability of helical swimmers near boundaries.
Recent publications demonstrate expertise in active suspension dynamics, with 2025 works on dispersion fine-tuning and modeling foundations highlighting his leadership in applying mathematical physics to biological fluid systems. Recurring themes include acoustic radiation forces, microscale hydrodynamics, and confinement effects on swimming trajectories.
Dr. Caldag actively contributes to collaborative research projects under Prof. Bees' supervision, with no independent student supervision recorded. His datasets support reproducibility in active matter studies, including 2025 research on oscillatory flow dispersion.
He is embedded within the biological fluid dynamics research group in York's Department of Mathematics, participating in seminars like the 2024 presentation on Fourier methods for biased swimming cells and the 65th British Applied Mathematics Colloquium.
