Metin Çelik

Metin Çelik is a Professor at the Department of Fundamental Sciences, Istanbul Technical University. His research focuses on human reliability analysis, maritime transportation systems, and AI applications in engineering and education. He has led projects on ship machinery monitoring, competency evaluation systems, and data-driven maritime safety solutions. His work bridges theoretical frameworks like fuzzy axiomatic design with practical implementations in maritime training and predictive maintenance.

Key research interests include fault detection in marine systems, serious game design for maritime education, and deep learning-based analysis of inspection reports. His recent studies explore generative AI in competency assessment and prescriptive models for machinery failure prediction. He has received multiple Above Threshold Rewards for academic excellence (2015, 2018) and a Best Student Paper Award (2008).

• Active Projects:
  • Network-Based Design of Ship Crew Competency Monitoring System (2020)
  • Holistic Data Analytics for Ship Inspections (2022-2024)
  • Failure Analysis Model Using GANs (2024)
• Grants & Funding:
  • BAP and TUBITAK-funded projects on maritime safety systems

His interdisciplinary approach integrates human factors, AI, and engineering principles to improve maritime operational reliability and training efficacy.
