Dr. Serter Atabay

Professor
PhD in Civil Engineering, University of Birmingham, UK

Serter Atabay has more than seven years of professional experience with the UK's leading specialists in flood risk and environmental management. He has taught a variety of courses for undergraduate students, including fluid mechanics, water resources engineering, coastal engineering and statics. His general area of specialization is open channel hydraulics, and his research interests span over a few sub-areas of research including compound channel flow mechanism and boundary shear stress distributions, and hydraulic structures such us bridges and culverts.
