Prof. Dr. Alper Bideci Prof. Dr. Alper Bideci is a Professor in the Department of Architecture at Düzce University, Türkiye. His research focuses on building materials, concrete technology, sustainable construction materials, and advanced cement-based composites. His work particularly emphasizes the development of lightweight concrete, polymer-modified concrete, polymer-coated aggregates, recycled construction materials, and high-performance building materials with improved thermal, acoustic, and mechanical properties. Prof. Bideci is the author of the book Polymer Covered Lightweight Aggregate Concrete (Turkish Edition) and has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in internationally recognized journals on concrete technology, cementitious materials, sustainable construction, waste recycling, and innovative composite materials. His research contributes to the development of environmentally friendly construction materials by promoting resource efficiency, circular economy principles, and low-carbon building technologies. From 2022 to 2023, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Bradford, United Kingdom, where he expanded his research on sustainable construction materials and established international scientific collaborations. Prof. Bideci serves as a reviewer and Guest Editor for several international scientific journals and regularly participates in international conferences as a scientific committee member and invited speaker.
