معرفی
Önder Umut serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Işık University. His academic profile demonstrates expertise in structural engineering with specialized focus on earthquake and wind engineering applications.
Education:
- PhD in Earthquake Engineering, Istanbul Technical University (2006-2014)
- MSc in Structural Engineering, Istanbul Technical University (2004-2006)
- BSc in Civil Engineering, Yıldız Technical University (1999-2004)
Professor Umut's research centers on seismic response analysis of base-isolated structures, wind turbine tower dynamics, and reinforced concrete systems. His work addresses critical challenges in liquid storage tanks, noise barriers, and historical structures under extreme loads. Current investigations include soil-structure interaction effects and near-fault earthquake impacts on structural integrity.
His publication portfolio reveals consistent contributions to structural dynamics, with emphasis on base isolation efficacy, wind load modeling, and cultural heritage preservation. Key thematic trends include fluid-structure interaction phenomena, seismic performance evaluation of industrial facilities, and sustainable infrastructure design approaches.
Advising & Projects:
- Supervises Master's theses on soil-structure interaction, seismic isolators, and reinforced concrete design
- Active in STORM Project for Ephesus Ancient Theatre preservation
- Leads research on seismic isolation of liquid storage tanks
- Contributes to MarDiM Project on Marmara Sea earthquake dynamics
