Research summary

Halis Şimşek works on energy and environmental engineering topics that combine biological treatment systems with computational modeling. Much of the recent work centers on using microalgae and bacteria to treat wastewater from aquaculture and other sources, converting biomass into fuels like biocrude oil or hydrogen, and applying machine learning, fuzzy logic, and life-cycle/techno-economic assessment tools to optimize these processes. The research also extends into agricultural applications such as predicting soil temperature, crop nutrient content, and livestock growth using data-driven methods.
