Dr. Fatma Çoban Kayıkçı

I am a researcher and lecturer with expertise in applied mathematics, continuum mechanics, and computational modeling. My primary research focus is on the stability analysis and mechanical behavior of carbon nanotubes and composite structures, employing advanced theoretical and numerical methods. I integrate cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) into my research. With two post-doctoral research experiences at Universität Duisburg-Essen (Germany), I have developed strong international collaborations and contributed to European research networks (COST Action CA21121). My interdisciplinary approach extends to collaborations with economists and social scientists, particularly in EU-funded projects (Erasmus-Mundus), demonstrating my ability to bridge engineering and social sciences.
