معرفی
Hatice PALÜZAR is an Associate Professor at Trakya University's Arda Vocational School, with expertise spanning biochemistry, biotechnology, enzymology, and environmental chemistry. She holds a PhD in Chemistry-Biochemistry (2013) and Master's/Bachelor's degrees from Trakya University (2009/2006).
- Academic Titles: Associate Professor (2024), Assistant Professor (2017-2021), Instructor (2010-2013)
- Administrative Roles: Deputy Director of Career Application and Research Center (2022-2024), Bologna Process Coordinator (since 2017), Erasmus Coordinator (2017-2024), Farabi Coordinator (2011-2024), Foreign Student Advisor (since 2010)
Her research focuses on:
- Biosensors for pesticide and phenolic compound detection
- Pesticide-Enzyme Interactions (catalase, lipase, polyphenol oxidase)
- Biodiesel Production from waste feedstocks using enzymatic catalysis
- Food Science applications in apple juice clarification and enzymatic browning inhibition
Recent publications highlight her work in environmental biotechnology (activated carbon production), food processing (pectinase-amyloglucosidase enzyme synergy), and molecular docking studies of plant extract-enzyme binding. She has led national projects on biodiesel production and pesticide effects on enzyme systems.
Scientific Recognition:
- 3rd Place in Teknofest 2024 Biotechnology and Innovation Competition
- 2020 Poster First Prize at International Enzyme and Bioprocess Days
- Editorial roles in special issues on pesticide detection (2019)
She has supervised a Master's thesis on biodiesel production from oil refinery waste (2019) and served as a referee for journals like Preparative Biochemistry & Biotechnology. Her career combines teaching (Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pesticide Chemistry), research, and administrative leadership in academic institutions.
