Ilgın Gökaşar’s conference paper entitled “Insights into the Impact of COVID-19 on Bicycle Usage in Colorado Counties” has been accepted for the Transportation Research Board 100th Annual Meeting which will be conducted on January 2021.
In this study, the change in the usage of bicycling – for pre- and post-pandemic periods -- using opendata sources, are investigated. Additionally, influence of the characteristics of socio-economics of the bike users, are also inspected.
The paper entitled “A comparative study on the performance of RCC for pavements casted in laboratory and field” of Dr. Nilüfer Özyurt Zihnioglu has been accepted for publication in International Journal of Pavement Engineering.
"Grounding Probability in Narrow Waterways” co-authored by Dr. Emre Otay has been published in the Journal of Navigation by Cambridge University Press in March 2020.

A new TÜBİTAK 1001 project with the collaboration of Özyeğin University, Boğaziçi University and Sabancı University was accepted. An automated system enabling additive manufacturing of fiber cement-based composites will be developed in the scope of the project. Results and dissemination of the work will significantly contribute to the state-of-art and be one of the pioneering studies leading the technological advancement of additive manufacturing in construction.
It is with great saddness that we have learned the passing away of our colleague Mete A. Sözen.
After having graduated from Robert College (RC'51), Dr. Sözen obtained his PhD form the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. He served on the Faculty of UIUC for most of his tenure, he last held the position of Kettelhut Distinguished Professor of Structural Engineering at Purdue University.
His impact on the prrofession has been recognized though many prestigious awards including and honorary doctorate from Boğaziçi University.
