Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ferhat BİNGÖL

Internship Coordinator

Dr. Ferhat Bingöl has over 15 years’ experience in wind energy research and holds a MSc in Wind Energy and a PhD in Wind Energy from Denmark Technical University Wind Energy Department, one of the world’s most prestigious wind energy laboratories (formerly known as Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy). His wide-ranging studies revolve around wind databases, wind atlas generation, lidar measurements, complex terrain studies, GIS and satellite wind measurements.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Başar ÇAĞLAR

Vice Head of Department

Dr. Basar Caglar is an experienced researcher working in the fields of reaction engineering, catalysis, surface science, spectroscopy and electrochemistry. His research mainly focuses on the development of sustainable energy solutions in energy-chemistry nexus. His current research interests are thermochemical and electrochemical conversion of biomass-derived feedstocks for chemicals and fuel production and heat and electricty stogare systems.  He received his doctorate degree from Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands) in 2014 and then he continued his studies in both academia and industry in different disciplines. Dr. caglar is a reviewer for several journals listed in ISI-Web of Science and a expert evaluator for H2020 calls.
