Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tufan ULCAY is a faculty member in the Department of Basic Medical Sciences at Ahi Evran University Faculty of Medicine, where he has served as a full-time Doctoral Faculty Member since 2012. He also held the position of Institute Deputy Director at Ahi Evran University in 2015. His academic career spans over two decades with significant contributions to anatomical sciences and related fields.
Dr. ULCAY earned his PhD in Anatomy from Fırat University Institute of Health Sciences (2004-2010), a Master's degree in Anatomy from Selçuk University Institute of Health Sciences (1999-2004), and a BA in Mathematics and Science Education from Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Education (1995-1999). His educational background bridges mathematical sciences with medical anatomy, providing a unique interdisciplinary perspective to his research.
His research primarily focuses on anatomical morphometry, anthropometry, and biomechanics, with particular emphasis on cranial anatomy, skeletal variations, and clinical applications of anatomical knowledge. Dr. ULCAY has made significant contributions to understanding sex determination through skeletal measurements, golden ratios in anatomical structures, and the biomechanical implications of anatomical variations. His work spans multiple disciplines including forensic anthropology, sports medicine, and clinical anatomy.
Analysis of his recent publications (2023-2025) reveals a strong trend toward interdisciplinary research combining anatomical sciences with clinical applications. His work frequently bridges basic anatomical research with practical medical applications, particularly in areas like sex determination from skeletal remains, anthropometric analysis for sports performance, and anatomical variations with clinical significance. The publications demonstrate expertise across multiple subfields including cranial morphology, musculoskeletal biomechanics, and anthropometric analysis for medical diagnostics.
