Dr. Sadik Varolguneş serves as a Dr. Lecturer in the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Bingol University since 2024, following 14 years as a Research Assistant at the same institution. His academic foundation includes a Civil Engineering PhD from Dicle University (2023), Master's degree (2013), and Bachelor's degree from Erciyes University (2001), with professional experience spanning construction management and municipal engineering prior to academia. His educational journey features: Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering, Erciyes University (2001) Master's Degree in Civil Engineering, Dicle University (2013) PhD in Civil Engineering, Dicle University (2023) Varolguneş's research bridges earthquake engineering and sustainable construction, with dual focus on seismic resilience and eco-friendly materials. He conducts field investigations of earthquake-damaged structures while developing computational models for performance evaluation. His sustainable construction work applies Analytical Hierarchy Process to green building standards and investigates geopolymers using industrial byproducts like ferrochrome slag. Recent publications demonstrate urgent responses to Turkey's seismic events, particularly the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. His 12 journal articles published between 2016-2025 show accelerating output after his PhD, with 7 papers in the last three years. International journals dominate his work (8 articles), primarily addressing earthquake engineering (Natural Hazards, Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami) and sustainable construction (Quality & Quantity). The 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes catalyzed his most productive period, yielding three major studies on seismic performance evaluation, bibliometric analysis, and fault rupture characteristics. Dr. Varolguneş actively leads two nationally funded research projects: as principal investigator for seismic software comparison research and as collaborator on geopolymer development from industrial waste. He teaches core undergraduate courses including Reinforced Concrete High Structures and Construction Management, integrating his pre-academic industry experience with current earthquake engineering research to prepare students for practical challenges in Turkey's seismic landscape.
