Ilhan Mutlu

Dr. İlhan Mutlu is a postdoctoral researcher at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ in the Department of Computational Biology and Chemistry since 2023. Previously, he worked at TU Dresden (2021-2023) and IAV GmbH (2017-2021). He holds a PhD in Control and Automation Engineering (Istanbul Technical University, 2017) and focuses on data integration, graph databases, and machine learning models for toxicology prediction.

His research bridges environmental data analysis with automated systems, particularly in freshwater toxicity assessment and optimal control techniques. Recent projects include ChEOS (toxicity prediction in European waters) and SafePol (pollinator protection). His technical expertise spans Neo4j, CleanGeoStreamR, and ecoKI platform development.

Publications emphasize data curation for environmental monitoring, graph-based toxicity tools, and ML-driven chemical risk assessment. His work also involves automated driving systems, including model-free trajectory planning and robust control algorithms. Though no scientific awards are listed, his contributions span interdisciplinary domains combining environmental science with computational engineering.
