Serhan Kirlangic

Dr. Serhan Kirlangic is a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at Teesside University (UK) within the SCEDT Engineering School. He holds a PhD from the University of Waterloo (Canada), MSc from Boğaziçi University (Turkey), and BSc from Istanbul Technical University (Turkey). His expertise focuses on non-destructive evaluation technologies for civil infrastructure, particularly ultrasonic and vibration-based methods for structural health monitoring. He previously served as Assistant Professor at Bahçeşehir University and conducted postdoctoral research at Cranfield University on EU-funded projects like PILEINSPECT. His work includes developing condition assessment techniques for concrete structures, asphalt pavements, and seismic risk mitigation.

Research interests encompass non-invasive inspection techniques, including ultrasonic testing for crack depth estimation and corrosion assessment in reinforced concrete. Notable achievements include a TUBITAK Reintegration Grant for bending crack characterization and a ProVention Consortium grant for earthquake protection of historical structures. He has authored 10+ journal articles and 12 conference papers, and acted as a reviewer for multiple journals and TUBITAK grant evaluator.

Teaching focuses on structural dynamics and soil mechanics. Professional experience includes bridge design, seismic evaluation of buildings, and roles in Turkey's Urban Transformation Committee for disaster mitigation.
