M.Sc. student, Ocean Engineering. Murat’s research focuses on sediment transport and coastal erosion, particularly using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) methods in DualSPHysics to simulate sediment dynamics in complex environments. He is currently investigating the interaction between water flow and sediment particles, applying elastic-plastic Drucker-Prager modeling to improve the accuracy of soil behavior simulations with the goal to analyze hybrid coastal structures and core-enhanced dune systems.
His work includes refining numerical methods for scour prediction, dune erosion, and sediment deposition, contributing to better coastal resilience planning. By developing and validating high-resolution SPH simulations, he aims to enhance our understanding of how coastal structures and natural formations respond to extreme weather events and long-term environmental changes.
