She has pioneered techniques for assessing the internal health of large structures without causing damage. This includes using radar and infrared thermography to detect flaws in concrete and composite materials.

Her work involves developing intelligent systems that monitor the real-time condition of bridges, buildings, and tunnels, allowing for proactive maintenance and disaster prevention.

She explores the interface of composite materials and concrete, focusing on how different substances bond and behave under extreme stress or environmental conditions.

Professor Büyüköztürk's research is characterized by its multidisciplinary approach, blending traditional engineering with modern technology:

A major focus of her recent work is enhancing the lifespan of urban infrastructure through sustainable design and resilient material choices. Leadership and Impact

Professor Büyüköztürk continues to push the boundaries of civil engineering. Her current projects often explore the intersection of , seeking ways to use data-driven models to predict structural failures before they occur. By combining a deep understanding of physical mechanics with cutting-edge digital tools, her work ensures that the built environment remains safe, efficient, and durable for future generations.
