Kasım Koçak

Kasım Koçak is a Professor at the Department of Meteorological Engineering at Istanbul Technical University. His work focuses on climatology, chaotic systems, and environmental data modeling with applications in Turkey and globally. He has contributed to studies on wind speed analysis, precipitation patterns, and evaporation dynamics using advanced statistical and machine learning methods like Support Vector Regression and fractal geometry.

Research Interests:

• Wind speed persistence and spatial analysis
• Climate change impacts on precipitation and snowfall
• Chaotic approaches in hydrological and meteorological prediction
• Fractal geometry applications in natural phenomena

Key Projects:

• Examining snowfall changes due to global climate change in Istanbul (2023-2024)
• Application of maximum entropy principles to hydrometeorological processes (2014-2017)
• Analysis of evaporation-sublimation relationships with meteorological variables (2011-2017)

Article Trends: Recent work emphasizes hybrid machine learning models (e.g., SVR, wavelet transforms) for predicting drought indices, river flows, and lake evaporation. He also explores multifractal structures in precipitation and spatial-temporal wind patterns using Bayesian methods.
