Prof. As. Dr. Deniz D. Güney

Deniz GUNEY, Ph.D., Associate Professor, is a civil and structural engineer and academic specializing in earthquake engineering, structural analysis, and seismic performance of buildings. He received his B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering from Istanbul Technical University, where his doctoral research focused on the nonlinear torsional response of irregular structures under seismic effects.
Throughout his career, Dr. GUNEY has combined academic teaching, research, and professional engineering practice. He has held academic positions at Istanbul Technical University, Yıldız Technical University, San Diego State University, and University Metropolitan Tirana, and has worked as a professional engineer and project manager in Turkey and Romania. His international teaching and research experience includes academic activities and Erasmus-related teaching engagements across Europe, as well as specialized international programs in Spain, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, and Norway. In Japan, he participated in the JICA Building Codes and Control Systems Training and Dialogue Program in Tokyo, gaining specialized international experience in building regulations, seismic safety, and construction control systems.
His research interests include earthquake-resistant design, structural dynamics, seismic rehabilitation, structural damage assessment, masonry structures, seismic isolation, and computational structural analysis. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed journal and conference publications and has supervised master’s and doctoral research. His international academic recognition includes a Visiting Research Scholarship awarded by the Research Council of Norway.
