Dr Sefer Anil Gunbeyaz
Chancellor’S Fellow - Senior Lecturer
Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering
Personal statement
A Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Strathclyde's Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering, has built an academic foundation with a BSc and MSc from Istanbul Technical University and a PhD from Strathclyde. Specialising in circular economy in the maritime domain, Sefer's research encompasses the circularity of marine assets, end-of-life options and minimising the environmental impact throughout the life cycle. Sefer is also focusing on decarbonisation through facility (shipyards, ports and recycling facilities) design and optimisation through simulation techniques. In addition to his work in circular economy and decarbonisation, Sefer is also focusing on health and safety improvement in shipyards and ship recycling facilities. In addition to academic work, he has contributed to various externally funded projects aimed at sustainable ship recycling practices. Sefer is also developing CPD's and training programs for stakeholders, notably through initiatives like ILO Skills for Prosperity, IMO SENSREC and BoatDIGEST.
