Active

Multi-Temporal Morphological Change Analysis, Rockfall Inventory and Risk/Priority Mapping of Cappadocia Fairy Chimneys

The project examines morphological change, surface retreat and rockfall hazards affecting Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys and tuff formations, with the goal of producing an inventory and a risk-priority map.

Active

Vision-Based UAV Altitude Estimation with Deep Learning

This project adapts a ResNet50 regression model to estimate UAV altitude from nadir imagery collected under varied terrain, weather and illumination conditions.

Active

Detecting Archaeological Sites from Digital Elevation Models and High-Resolution Orthophoto Maps with Deep Learning

The project investigates automatic archaeological site detection from digital elevation models and high-resolution orthophotos using deep learning and terrain-aware image analysis.

Active

Achievement-Based Programme Orientation Detection

This study examines whether patterns in student achievement data can support evidence-based identification of programme orientation and improve academic guidance.

Completed

Development and Integration of a Student Assistant Web Application with OpenAI-Based CustomGPT

The project developed and integrated a web-based student assistant that uses a tailored OpenAI model to provide accessible, context-aware academic support.

Completed

Terrain-Based UAV Positioning Using Autoencoder Deep Neural Networks

The doctoral research evaluates terrain-based visual localization for UAVs by learning compact map representations with autoencoders and matching nadir imagery when GNSS is unavailable.

Completed

Tepebaşı Public Education Centre Automation Software Project

The project coordinated the development of administrative automation software to streamline course, participant and operational records for Tepebaşı Public Education Centre.
