استادیار
Özgür Aktürk is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geological Engineering at Akdeniz University, Faculty of Engineering, where he has been serving since 2011. His academic journey began at Ankara University, continued with a master's and doctorate at Middle East Technical University, and includes research experience at the University of Tennessee. He is actively involved in teaching and research in geotechnical and geophysical engineering, with strong industry collaboration through his R&D company. Doctorate: Middle East Technical University, 2010 Undergraduate: Ankara University, 2001 His research interests span Applied Geophysics , Engineering Geology , Electrical Resistivity Imaging , Soil and Rock Mechanics , Seismic Hazard Assessment , and Numerical Modeling . He applies these to practical problems such as tunnel stability, dam safety, karst investigations, and urban infrastructure. His work integrates field geophysics with computational models to assess geotechnical risks. The recent articles reflect a consistent focus on geophysical subsurface characterization, particularly using electrical resistivity methods, and geotechnical stability analysis. Key themes include urban geophysics for subway systems , karst cavity detection , soil liquefaction , and statistical analysis of geological materials . His collaborations with researchers like V. Doyuran, K. Kayabalı, and F. Uçar highlight interdisciplinary and applied research trends. He has supervised multiple master's students on topics related to tunnel deformation, landslide hazards, and geophysical site assessment. Although no formal scientific awards are listed, his extensive publication record and participation in funded projects indicate active research engagement. He is a member of the Engineering Geology Association and the Chamber of Geological Engineers, and has served on thesis juries. Özgür Aktürk has founded JeoTasarım Proje ve Mühendislik under Akdeniz University TEKNOKENT, demonstrating a commitment to applied research and technology transfer. His work bridges academic research and practical engineering solutions, particularly in water resources and geohazard mitigation projects.
