Professional Development Dr. Aksoy has actively contributed to the field of hydraulics and water resources management through her research and publications. Her work, including the analysis of coastal erosion and water quality, reflects her expertise in hydrology and engineering. Dr. Aksoy’s professional development extends beyond academia, with significant involvement in national and international conferences where she presents her research on water systems, hydraulics, and coastal conservation. She continuously expands her knowledge through collaborations and has contributed to the development of effective hydraulic parameters for risk analysis in river systems. Research Focus Dr. Aksoy’s research focuses on Hydraulics, Hydrology, Coastal Engineering, and Water Resources Management. She has explored the effects of bed materials on river roughness and hydraulic potential, as well as the temporal analysis of coastal erosion in Turkey. Her studies on water quality in Filyos Stream using artificial neural networks contribute to understanding the impacts of seasonal changes and human activities on water systems. Additionally, Dr. Aksoy investigates flood risks and hydraulic parameters in river systems to enhance water management practices and disaster preparedness.
