Ozan Alver

Ozan Alver is a Researcher at the Department of Civil Engineering, Istanbul Technical University. His work focuses on geotechnical engineering, particularly soil-pile-structure interaction, seismic analysis, and nonlinear soil behavior in cohesionless soils. He holds a PhD from Istanbul Technical University (2016) and previously served as a Research Assistant at Bursa Technical University (2016–2018). His research addresses liquefaction mitigation, dynamic soil damping effects, and foundation optimization in stratified and liquefiable soils. Key contributions include developing dynamic p-y models and evaluating soil-structure interaction under seismic loading. Alver’s work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to resilient infrastructure and disaster risk reduction.

Education:

• PhD in Civil Engineering, Istanbul Technical University (2016)
• MSc in Civil Engineering, Nine September University (2015)
• BSc in Civil Engineering, Nine September University (2013)

Research Interests: Ozan’s research emphasizes geotechnical design standards (TBDY 2018), numerical modeling of soil-pile systems, and seismic response assessment. He explores rigid inclusions for soft clay foundations and settlement-based optimization of piled raft systems. His studies bridge theoretical models and practical engineering solutions in complex soil-structure interactions.
