معرفی
Songül BOY serves as an Assistant Professor at Kafkas University's Atatürk Health Services Vocational School within the Department of Medical Services and Techniques, holding a full-time academic position since 2018. Her role encompasses teaching medical laboratory techniques and conducting research in organic chemistry with clinical applications.
Her educational foundation includes:
- PhD in Chemistry from Kafkas University (2018)
- Master's Degree in Chemistry from Kafkas University (2006)
- B.Sc. in Chemistry from Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University (2004)
Specializing in organic chemistry, BOY focuses on synthesizing and analyzing heterocyclic compounds, particularly 1,2,4-triazole derivatives. Her research integrates computational methods like Density Functional Theory with experimental techniques to explore molecular structures, electronic properties, and potential biological activities. She investigates enzyme inhibition mechanisms, antimicrobial effects, and antioxidant properties of novel compounds, bridging theoretical chemistry with pharmaceutical applications.
Analysis of her 19 publications (2018-2022) reveals a consistent focus on Mannich base derivatives of triazoles. Her work demonstrates increasing sophistication in combining quantum chemical calculations (DFT, B3LYP) with spectroscopic validation (NMR, FT-IR) to predict biological activity. Recent publications show expanded applications in medicinal chemistry, particularly for enzyme inhibitors and antimicrobial agents, with growing emphasis on in silico docking studies.
No scientific awards or major recognitions have been recorded for Dr. BOY.
She has no formal thesis advisees but participated as researcher in one institutional project: 'Synthesis of potential biologically active novel heterocyclic Mannich bases from some 4,5-dihydro-1h-1,2,4-triazol-5-one derivatives and investigation of some of their properties' (2018-2019).
BOY collaborates extensively within Kafkas University's chemistry research group, with 17 joint publications with Prof. Haydar Yüksek, 7 with Dr. Gül Kotan, and 4 with Dr. Sevda Manap. Her work is conducted through the university's research infrastructure supporting medicinal chemistry and computational modeling.
