Tülay ÖZER

Prof. Dr. Tülay ÖZER is a Professor at the Vocational School of Health Services, Medical Services and Techniques Department, Ahievran University, Turkey. She holds a PhD in Biology Education (1998) and has dedicated her career to hydrobiology and limnology, focusing on freshwater algae, their ecological roles, and biotechnological applications.

• BA (1987), Master's (1993), PhD (1998) from Gazi University
• Over 25 years of experience in algal ecology, biosorption, and FTIR spectroscopy

Research Interests include:

• Lake and stream algal assemblages
• Heavy metal bioremediation via microalgae
• Molecular characterization using FTIR
• Cryopreservation of algal strains
• Development of algal culture collections

Publication Trends show consistent work on freshwater algae, with emphasis on ecological monitoring, biosorption mechanisms (Cr(VI), Cu), FTIR applications, and seasonal dynamics. Her projects often integrate biodiversity assessments with environmental variables.

Advising includes supervision of 4 Master's theses and collaboration with 81 researchers. She co-developed a comprehensive Türkiye Bitkileri Listesi Suyosunları (2019) and contributed to 17 funded projects.
