Beykoz University students have achieved a significant success within the scope of the “2209-A University Students Research Projects Support Program” conducted by TÜBİTAK. The projects that qualified for support under the program once again demonstrated our students’ competencies in scientific research, innovative thinking, and project development.
Prepared by students from various disciplines, the supported projects cover a wide range of fields, including artificial intelligence, digital transformation, sustainability, game design, entrepreneurship, media studies, logistics, aviation, and food technologies. Conducted under the guidance of academic advisors, these projects aim to contribute to scientific knowledge while also generating social value.
Among the projects selected for support are Irmak Avcı’s project titled “Adoption of Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Digital Transformation in SMEs: An Integrated Technology, Organization, and Environment Model” supervised by Assist. Prof. Aslıhan Bekaroğlu; Tuana Nohut’s project “An Improved Genetic Algorithm for the University Course Timetabling Problem: A Beykoz University Case Study” supervised by Lecturer Cem Kazan; and Ahmet Emir Çelik’s study titled “Risk Modeling and Analysis in Cold Chain Transportation Using Real Temperature Data.”
Other supported projects include İsmail Onur Kuzkaya’s “Artificial Intelligence-Based Classification and Anomaly Detection for Secure Radar Data”; Talib Taşlı’s “A Deep Learning-Based Approach for the Classification of Hyperspectral Images” supervised by Lecturer Fatih Zahid Genç; Furkan Efe Aslan’s “An Artificial Intelligence-Supported System for Predicting Climate-Induced Migration”; Zeynep Diz’s “The Impact of Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content on the Perception of Reality”; and Zeynep Nisa Şahin’s study examining the impact of deepfake technologies on perceptions of credibility.
In the fields of game design and digital media, notable projects included Gökhan Mert’s “From Video Games to Cinematic Narrative: The Aesthetics of Cutscenes”; Necati Berk Semiz’s project exploring the global promotion of Turkish and Anatolian mythology through the game industry; Fatma Beril Bilgen’s digital serious game design focused on environmental conservation; and Süha Taşçı’s digital game development project centered on home security.
In the field of food technologies, Cennet Birinci’s project titled “Production of Functional Baby Biscuits Enriched with Protein and Fiber Using Amaranth Flour” received support. In the areas of entrepreneurship and consumer behavior, the projects conducted by Ömer Omak and Arda Turgut were also accepted.
Among the projects in aviation and business administration, Eylül İkra Kuşcu’s study examining the effects of artificial intelligence-based solutions on operational efficiency and passenger satisfaction in the aviation industry, as well as Cemre Naz Hantaş’s project, were deemed worthy of support. Additionally, Sermin Altun’s research investigating the impact of short film and documentary screening activities on university students’ empathy and social awareness levels was accepted into the program.
As Beykoz University, we wholeheartedly congratulate all our students and academic advisors whose projects have been accepted and wish them continued success in their scientific research and innovation journey.
