About

Naval Architect specializing in Finite Element Analysis and computational mechanics. I hold a Bachelor's in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from Istanbul Technical University, and a double Master's in Mechanics of Structures and Computational Engineering from the University of L'Aquila and the University of Strasbourg. Currently working in plan approval, building expertise in reviewing structural designs against class and regulatory requirements. I'm also closely following industry developments in digitalization, alternative fuels, and unmanned surface vessels, and how these trends are shaping the future of plan approval and class processes. My academic and research background includes developing and validating FEM models, with particular expertise in parameter optimization and calibration. I also build custom computational tools to streamline simulation workflows and support advanced structural analysis. Open to connecting with professionals in naval architecture, classification societies, and computational simulation.
