Dr. Sebahat Şimşek received her B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering from Karadeniz Technical University, Türkiye, and completed her postdoctoral research at the Applied Mechanics Research Group (AMRG), Ghent University, Belgium. She is currently a Research Assistant in the Department of Civil Engineering at Karadeniz Technical University. Her research interests focus on computational mechanics, structural engineering, and advanced composite materials, with particular emphasis on functionally graded materials, sandwich and composite structures, three-dimensional elasticity, buckling and free vibration analyses, structural dynamics, elastic foundations, structural health monitoring, and optimization-based damage detection.
