TÜBİTAK 3501 PROJECT ACHIEVEMENT FROM OUR DEPARTMENT – ASSIST. PROF. DR. ENES DURGUT
A research project in which our department faculty member Assist. Prof. Dr. Enes Durgut serves as a researcher has been awarded funding under the The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) 3501 Career Development Program.
Project Title:
Development and Performance Analysis of Architecturally Controllable Hierarchically Porous Hybrid Photocatalysts for Photocatalytic Water Treatment
Project Team:
Dr. Nihan Şengökmen Özsöz – Principal Investigator
Assist. Prof. Dr. Enes Durgut – Researcher
Dr. Memnune Kardeş – Researcher
Dr. A. Burak Paç – Researcher
Prof. Dr. H. Cengiz Yatmaz – Researcher
This interdisciplinary project brings together expertise in additive manufacturing, materials science, environmental engineering, and statistical optimization with the aim of developing innovative, sustainable, and reusable hierarchically porous photocatalytic reactor designs for water treatment applications. Over the course of the 36-month project, novel material formulations specifically designed for additive manufacturing processes will be developed, with the goal of generating high-impact academic contributions to the scientific literature.
Focused on the development of next-generation environmental technologies, the project involves a broad multidisciplinary research team. In addition to the project coordinator Dr. Nihan Şengökmen Özsöz, the team includes Dr. Memnune Kardeş from Gebze Technical University Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Dr. A. Burak Paç from Gebze Technical University Department of Industrial Engineering, and Assist. Prof. Dr. Enes Durgut from Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University as researchers. Prof. Dr. H. Cengiz Yatmaz from Gebze Technical University Department of Environmental Engineering contributes to the project as an advisor. In addition, two undergraduate students and one graduate student will be supported as scholarship researchers throughout the project.
