Assoc. Prof. Serife Yilmaz serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Karadeniz Technical University's Faculty of Science, a position she has held since 2017 following prior appointments as Lecturer PhD (2011-2017) and Lecturer (2010-2011) at the same institution.
Her academic credentials include:
- Doctorate in Mathematics, Karadeniz Technical University (2005-2011)
- Postgraduate in Mathematics, Erciyes University (2002-2004)
- Undergraduate in Mathematics, Erciyes University (1998-2002)
Dr. Yilmaz's research centers on Algebra, Number Theory, and Ordered Algebraic Structures with specialization in Fuzzy Mathematics, Lattice Theory, and Soft Set Theory. Her work investigates triangular norms, hyperstructures, and fuzzy logic applications, recently expanding into cryptographic implementations. She maintains active contributions to both theoretical foundations and practical applications in algebraic systems.
Analysis of her 14 journal publications (2007-2025) reveals consistent focus on lattice-based structures and fuzzy algebraic systems, with notable evolution from foundational triangular norm research toward cryptographic applications. Her recent 2025 publications demonstrate integration of lattice theory with encryption methods, reflecting interdisciplinary expansion while maintaining core algebraic expertise.
She has advised two graduate theses and participated in one research project. Academic service includes thesis jury memberships at Giresun University (2019) and assistant professorship appointment committees at Black Sea Technical University (2018).
Additional professional activities include jury service for national folk dance competitions organized by the Turkish University Sports Federation and Turkish Folk Dance Federation (2013-2016), demonstrating engagement beyond core academic duties.
