Renewable and Sustainable Adhesives and Technologies for the Built Environment

Dr. Mehmet Serkan Kirgiz is a Professor at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University. He has previously worked as full professor at various universities in Turkey, UK, Algeria, Nigeria, and USA. He began his professional experience, including teaching in the undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate level, research and development with TUBITAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye) and international institutions and universities collaboratively, and advising for students in their theses, in 1998. He also served as Dean, Member of Engineering/Architecture Faculty Management Board and Member of Civil Engineering/Architecture Department Management Board in the faculty of engineering and architecture from 1998 years to present. He is author of 260 peer-reviewed articles and pending-publishing articles along with books 6 and book chapters 37 published in highly reputable SCI journals and Scopus-based publishers. He holds a national patent on cement manufacturing through the burning of marble powder and brick powder as farina. His teaching interests include Structural Mechanics, Advanced Engineering Analysis, and Plasticity in Steel Structures. His research interests are within the broad fields of the ecology-based construction materials, minerals of raw and by-product material, and development of formaldehyde-free binder for construction materials and nanotechnology.
