International Collaborations

(1) Advisory role in Smart Eureka:

I am currently serving as a scientific advisor to Betek Boya, a leading Turkish paint producer, within the international Smart Eureka project. This project, titled “Advancing Integration of Machine Learning for Optimized MOF Production, Advanced Slurry Formation, and Novel Adsorption Based Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) Technology in Geothermal Powerplants,” directly leverages my knowledge of MOFs, nanocomposites, rheology, and machine learning.

(2) Co-authorship with international researchers:

Examples of international publications with international researchers are provided here: Netherlands [1], Belgium [2], Canada [3,4], Australia [5], Italy [6], and Sweden [7].

(3) Current International Projects:

Keeping aside several accomplished international projects, I serve as a co-PI in an international project with Iraq, titled "AI-Assisted Prediction of Dirt Pickup Resistance in Coatings Using Colorimetric Data". In addition, as a PI, I am leading a project titled "Zn/Co MOFs structure simulation based on machine learning methods" in collaboration with a team in Portugal. I am also involved in a Renewable Energy project based on an LDH electrocatalyst. I am responsible for AI-simulation and optimization of the LDH electrocatalyst.
