Dr. Fulya Islek is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Civil Engineering, University College Dublin. Her research focuses on coastal engineering, ocean wave dynamics, extreme climate events, climate variability and change, and atmosphere–ocean interactions, with a particular emphasis on understanding long-term variability and extremes in marine environments. She also works on satellite altimetry, remote sensing, numerical modelling, and advanced data analysis techniques applied to oceanographic and coastal processes. Her work integrates observational datasets, reanalysis products, and numerical simulations to improve the characterization and prediction of wind and wave climates under changing climate conditions. She has contributed to numerous peer-reviewed publications in leading coastal engineering, ocean engineering, and climate science journals. She actively serves as a reviewer for multiple international journals across oceanography, climate, and renewable energy fields. She is also a Topic Editor for Frontiers in Marine Science and an Expert Evaluator for Horizon Europe (CINEA, European Commission), where she evaluates EU-funded research projects in the energy and climate domains.
