As full-time academic I have been focused on industry based researches rather than basic research.I have various project based experience in Mine planning, Scheduling, Mineral potential, Mine resource, Ore reserve estimation in various kinds of commodities such as Coal, Gold, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Iron, Rare Earth Elements (REE), Polymetallic Deposits, Nickel (Lateritic) and Industrial raw materials. I am still producing projects and consultant of various companies such as TKI (Biggest coal producer of the Turkey), Eti Maden (Unique producer of REE of Turkey and Biggest Boron producer of the World), MTA (Biggest Exploration Company of the Türkiye with more than 2 millions m. drilling each year) and other various sized private companies. My other research area is 3D realistic full-scale numerical modelling of underground openings and numerical modelling of production methods especially in hard rock gold mines. As a member of active world class research team I am capable of modelling most complex underground opening and support systems with the aid of both softwares that are developed by us and commercially available.
