About
Dr. Selda Oterkus is a leading researcher in marine structural engineering and advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on optimizing shipbuilding processes through robotic welding technologies. Her work addresses critical challenges in the maritime industry, where traditional welding methods are labor-intensive and error-prone. Dr. Oterkus’s major contributions include pioneering systematic approaches to integrating robotic welding in marine structures, as demonstrated by her highly cited 2024 systematic literature review (36 citations), which provides a comprehensive roadmap for enhancing production quality and efficiency. She further advances the field through detailed simulation studies, such as her 2023 work on ship block panel assembly (11 citations), where she demonstrates how robotic welding can reduce costs and errors in complex double-bottom structures. By combining rigorous simulation with practical production optimization, Dr. Oterkus bridges the gap between theoretical research and industrial application. Her work has significant implications for reducing human error, improving structural integrity, and streamlining manufacturing in the maritime sector. With her growing citation impact and focus on real-world problem-solving, Dr. Oterkus is establishing herself as a key voice in the future of automated marine construction.
