Mehmet Hakan Erkut

Mehmet Hakan Erkut is a Professor at Boğaziçi University's Department of Physics, specializing in theoretical high energy astrophysics. His research focuses on accretion disks, magnetohydrodynamics, and neutron stars/black holes. He investigates magnetosphere-disk interactions in X-ray binaries, ultraluminous X-ray pulsars, and quasi-periodic oscillations in both neutron-star and black-hole systems.

Key research areas include evolutionary modeling of ultraluminous X-ray sources and radio efficiency of pulsars. His work integrates theoretical frameworks with observational phenomena in extreme astrophysical environments.
