Sevilay DEMİRCİ

Sevilay DEMİRCİ is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Kafkas University, specializing in Chemical Engineering with a focus on Physical Chemistry and Energy. Her research spans solid-liquid phase equilibria, biomass energy, nano-catalysts, and occupational safety.

• PhD: Chemistry, Kafkas University (2011)
• MSc: Chemistry, Kafkas University (2005)
• BSc: Chemical Engineering, İnönü University (2001)

Her research interests include:

• Phase equilibria and physicochemical properties of inorganic systems
• Biochar production from biomass
• Hydrogen generation via catalytic processes
• Antioxidant and antimicrobial compound synthesis
• Risk assessment in industrial and occupational settings

Publication Trends: Recent work emphasizes energy recovery from biomass, catalyst development, and phase behavior of phosphite systems. Collaborative projects with institutions like Siirt University and İnönü University highlight interdisciplinary approaches.

Theses Supervised: Supervised 11 graduate students at Kafkas and Siirt Universities on topics such as occupational risk analysis, chemical safety, and antibacterial materials.

Projects: Led or participated in 8 research projects, including studies on biochar production, phase separation in industrial solutions, and antioxidant extraction. Notable projects involve NaCl-Zn(H2PO2)2-H2O systems and lignocellulosic fuel characterization.
