Fatih kirbiyik | Statistical Applications in Engineering | Best Researcher Award Published on 06/10/202506/10/2025 by Statistics Dr. Fatih kirbiyik | Statistical Applications in Engineering | Best Researcher Award Dr. Fatih kirbiyik | Adiyaman university | Turkey Dr. Fatih Kirbiyik is a Turkish academic specializing in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), particularly focusing on functionally graded Al₂O₃/CYSZ systems. He earned his Ph.D. in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from Istanbul Technical University (ITU) . His doctoral research centered on evaluating the CMAS (Calcium–Magnesium–Alumino-Silicate) and hot corrosion resistance of these TBCs. Dr. Kirbiyik has held academic positions at ITU and served as a visiting researcher at Dublin City University. His work has been recognized with several awards, including the TÜBİTAK Publication Encouragement Award and the Istanbul Technical University Publication Encouragement Award. He has contributed to multiple peer-reviewed journals and conferences, with his research being cited over 80 times. Notably, his publication on the application of thermal gradient and thermal cycling tests to Al₂O₃/CYSZ functionally graded TBCs has been cited 67 times in Scopus. Dr. Kirbiyik’s h-index is 4, with an i10-index of 3, indicating a growing influence in his field. His expertise encompasses materials characterization, plasma spraying, and laser surface modification techniques. Beyond his academic pursuits, he has a keen interest in music and travel.
