Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering
Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey
Biography:
Dr. Adnan Kefal is an Assistant Professor and the Vice Dean of Research & Development at the Faculty of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, Istanbul Technical University (ITU). He completed his undergraduate education in 2013 with the first rank in the same faculty at ITU. He received his Ph.D. degree in 2017 from Naval Architecture, Marine and Ocean Engineering Department at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK in the fields of computational structural mechanics and structural health monitoring. During his PhD studies, he worked as a visiting researcher at NASA Langley Research Center, USA in summer 2016. Prior to joining ITU, he was a research scientist at the Integrated Manufacturing Technologies Research and Application Center of Sabanci University. Dr. Kefal’s areas of expertise involve computational mechanics and engineering optimization techniques with the focus on large-scale structures, topology optimization, structural health monitoring, shape and stress sensing, energy harvesting, and mechanics of composite structures. He is co-author of more than 13 journal articles published in SCI-indexed high impact journals, and also prepared and presented over 22 conference papers on these topics.
