Ferhun Cem Caner is a Professor at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), affiliated with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering within the School of Engineering of East Barcelona (EEBE). He works at the Institute of Energy Techniques (Institut de Tècniques Energètiques) and is a key member of the IONHE research group (Ionising Radiation, Health and Environment). His academic work spans over 25 years with extensive contributions to computational mechanics and material science. Dr. Caner's research focuses on computational mechanics, particularly microplane modeling approaches for various materials including concrete, WC-Co hardmetals, and composite materials. His work bridges theoretical modeling with practical engineering applications, covering elastoplasticity, fracture mechanics, and material degradation phenomena. His expertise extends to multiscale modeling, connecting microstructural features to macroscopic material behavior. Analysis of his publication record shows consistent contributions in high-impact journals across computational mechanics and materials science. His recent work has increasingly focused on WC-Co hardmetals and advanced composite materials, applying microplane theory to predict complex material behaviors under various loading conditions. The research demonstrates strong collaboration with international researchers, particularly with Zdenek Bazant from Northwestern University. Dr. Caner has secured research funding through competitive projects and has contributed to numerous technical reports, particularly in radiation physics and material characterization. His work has practical applications in structural engineering, fire safety, and advanced material design.
