ONUR POLAT

Dr. Onur Polat serves as a Lecturer at Bingol University's Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, specializing in cybersecurity research with focus on Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack detection in Software Defined Networking (SDN) environments. His work extends to critical applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) and SCADA systems.

Research interests include:

• Network Security and Cybersecurity
• Software Defined Networking (SDN)
• Machine Learning for Intrusion Detection
• Vehicular Networks Security
• Industrial Control System Protection
• AI-driven Real-time Monitoring

Analysis of his 9 journal publications (2020-2024) reveals consistent innovation in AI-powered security frameworks, with recent work emphasizing hybrid models combining convolutional networks, decision trees, and ensemble methods for VANET and SCADA environments. His research demonstrates increasing sophistication in handling 'pandemic-scale' attacks and real-time traffic monitoring.

Dr. Polat maintains active research collaboration with co-authors including H. Polat and M. Türkoğlu, presenting at IEEE conferences since 2016. Prospective students should note his focus on practical security solutions for emerging network infrastructures, with opportunities to contribute to impactful cybersecurity research in transportation and industrial systems.
