Nuran Erduran

Nuran Erduran serves as a Doctor Lecturer in the Department of Physical Chemistry within the Department of Chemistry at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences.

Her research focuses on environmental chemistry, particularly developing novel adsorbents for water treatment. She investigates polymer-based materials—including modified polymers and magnetic nanoparticles—for removing heavy metals and dyes from wastewater. Her work extends to biomonitoring heavy metal pollution using wildlife like the European hare and wild boar.

Recent publications (2024–2025) emphasize functionalized polymers for efficient heavy metal and dye removal, demonstrating a clear trend toward sustainable water treatment technologies. Her research integrates polymer chemistry, nanotechnology, and environmental monitoring, with applications spanning industrial wastewater purification and ecological risk assessment.
