Dr. Murat Tuyan is a civil engineering researcher specializing in geopolymer and alkali-activated materials, sustainable cementitious systems, and advanced concrete technology. His research centers on the development of low-carbon, high-performance construction materials through the use of industrial by-products, recycled constituents, and waste-derived precursors. His work covers mechanical and durability performance, microstructural characterization, and the structural behaviour of cementitious materials and concrete members. He received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Ege University, Türkiye, with research focused on geopolymer mortar and concrete produced with natural and waste materials. He has held academic and research positions including Assistant Professor at Izmir Democracy University and Visiting Professor at Western University, Canada, where he carried out postdoctoral research on sustainable geopolymer concrete. He is currently conducting advanced research in Canada in collaboration with the University of Ottawa and the National Research Council Canada. Dr. Tuyan has published extensively in internationally recognized journals in the fields of geopolymer materials, alkali-activated binders, recycled aggregate concrete, self-compacting concrete, and concrete durability. His recent studies have focused particularly on waste clay brick powder-based geopolymer systems and other innovative low-carbon binder technologies for sustainable construction.
