Murat Bayraktar, Associate Professor at Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Maritime Faculty. With over ten years of experience in maritime engineering and shipping, my research focuses on sustainable solutions for the maritime industry, including alternative marine fuels, maritime decarbonization, energy efficiency, and risk and safety assessment of main and auxiliary engines. I also work on multi-criteria decision-making models for propulsion and fuel selection, and resilience and sustainability assessments for different ship types. My research further examines maritime psychology and human-error-related issues in shipboard systems, addressing how human factors affect operational safety, to support a safer, cleaner, and more efficient shipping industry.
