Tamer Cosgun

Tamer Cosgun serves as a Research Fellow at the Institute of Photonics and Quantum Sciences within Heriot-Watt University's School of Engineering & Physical Sciences in Edinburgh, United Kingdom (EH14 4AS). His research centers on developing advanced optical sensing solutions for structural integrity assessment in civil infrastructure.

His core research areas include Structural Health Monitoring, Fiber Optics, Interferometry, and Sensors, with specialized focus on Fabry-Perot interferometer-based gap measurement systems. He applies photonics engineering principles to create miniaturized, high-sensitivity sensors capable of sub-millimeter precision for long-term structural monitoring applications.

Analysis of his publications reveals a consistent research trajectory in fiber-optic interferometric sensing, demonstrating increasing technical sophistication from his 2020 conference paper to the 2022 peer-reviewed Optics Express article. Both works emphasize practical engineering solutions for structural monitoring with measurable real-world sensitivity improvements.

As part of the Institute of Photonics and Quantum Sciences, Dr. Cosgun contributes to Heriot-Watt University's internationally recognized photonics research ecosystem, collaborating with experts in optical engineering and structural monitoring.
