Dr. Özger is a globally recognized researcher who masterfully integrates the theoretical rigor of Functional Analysis with the practical demands of modern Computational Mathematics. His academic foundation is rooted in pure mathematics, culminating in a Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2013 under the supervision of the distinguished German mathematician, Professor Eberhard Malkowsky. Dr. Özger’s core mathematical contributions focus on Operator Theory and Approximation Theory. This foundational work informs his prolific applied research, which includes over 50 peer-reviewed articles in Applied and Computational Mathematics. He successfully bridges theoretical concepts with cutting-edge technological problems in interdisciplinary domains such as Deep Learning and Image Segmentation. A testament to his substantial scholarly impact, Dr. Özger was named to the prestigious 'World’s Most Influential Scientists' list, jointly announced annually by Stanford University and Elsevier, for both 2023 and 2025. His commitment to shaping international research is extensive: Dr. Özger serves as an expert evaluator for international projects submitted to the European Research Council, providing crucial insight into the priorities of global science funding. He is a highly active reviewer in the academic community, having rigorously evaluated more than 200 articles and over 70 national and international projects. He currently serves as a faculty member in the Department of Computer Engineering.
