Yasin Arslanoğlu

Yasin Arslanoğlu serves as a Professor in the Department of Basic Sciences at Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey. With 60 research outputs and an h-index of 20 (1,227 citations), his work focuses on maritime engineering challenges including ship machinery systems, risk assessment, and sustainable shipping solutions. He actively leads research projects funded by SRP, EU, and TUBITAK, addressing critical industry needs in decarbonization and operational safety.

His research interests center on predictive maintenance for marine engines, risk assessment methodologies for cargo operations, and life cycle analysis of alternative fuels. He pioneers applications of fuzzy FMEA, rule-based systems, and AI-driven approaches to optimize fuel consumption, reduce emissions, and enhance machinery reliability. Current projects investigate digital twin modeling for ship electrical grids and biofouling mitigation technologies.

Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications reveals a dominant trend toward maritime decarbonization, with 85% of recent work addressing emission reduction technologies, alternative fuel viability, and regulatory compliance (e.g., IMO Carbon Intensity Indicator). Key methodological themes include hybrid predictive maintenance frameworks, fuzzy logic-based risk assessment, and integrated environmental-economic modeling for scrubber systems and dual-fuel engines.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Best Poster Award (2013)

Professor Arslanoğlu has supervised 26 graduate students and currently leads 8 research projects, including:

• Active: EU-funded biofouling mitigation project (2024-2026), SRP-sponsored digital twin initiative for ship electrical grids (2024-2026)
• Recent: TUBITAK-funded risk analysis of sludge impacts on ship machinery (2021-2022), SRP projects on container terminal risk prediction (2020-2022) and AI-driven electrical grid research (2019-2022)

His grants consistently target sustainable shipping innovations with industry partnerships.

He maintains active research networks across European maritime institutions, evidenced by co-authorship on international publications and collaborative projects addressing global shipping decarbonization challenges.
