Tugce Baser

Dr. Tugce Baser is an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at Saint Louis University's School of Science and Engineering. Her research focuses on multiphysics of geomaterials, unsaturated soil mechanics, and geothermal energy systems. She directs investigations into sustainable geoenergy solutions and subsurface characterization techniques.

Baser's work bridges geotechnical engineering with renewable energy applications, particularly in developing advanced geothermal storage systems and analyzing soil behavior under thermal stresses. Her research has significant implications for sustainable infrastructure and energy resilience.

She has received multiple scientific awards including the Young Investigator Award from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the ASCE Outstanding Instructor Award. Her publications demonstrate consistent focus on thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of geomaterials in energy applications.
