prof.dr. M. E. Köksal (Emir)

Mehmet Emir Koksal is a Visiting Professor at the Chair Mathematics of Systems Theory in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente and he is also a Professor of Applied Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at the Ondokuz Mayis University. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Gebze Institute of Technology, Turkey in 2009. After receiving his Ph.D., he studied as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne between 2009-2010. In 2014, he passed the exam held by The Presidency of the Inter-University Council of Turkey and received the title of Associate Professor in Mathematics.

His research interests are in systems and control theory, differential equations, and numerical analysis. The main focus is on the development and analysis of commutativity conditions of time-varying systems, feedback systems, decomposition and transitivity properties of commutativity, and applications of commutativity in physical systems using differential and difference equations. He also studies ordinary and partial differential equations, their numerical solution methods, and mathematical modeling and analysis of various engineering problems using differential equations. His research has been published in top international journals. He has received numerous grants and awards. He reviewed over 200 manuscripts for 60 different international peer-reviewed journals and 40 different international conferences. His research has been mainly supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey. In this field, he has led two national projects, one of which was awarded a project performance award. He has been a keynote speaker, invited speaker and a member of the organizing and scientific committees of many well-known international conferences.
