Personal Overview

Dr. Velioglu Sogut specializes in extreme wave events, nearshore coastal processes, and coastal resilience, with a strong background in both experimental and computational research. She is adept at conducting experiments in research-grade wave/current flumes and has extensive knowledge in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and morphodynamic modeling, where she utilizes High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters. Her latest work investigates the impact of storms on barrier islands, with a focus on overwash, flooding, and island breaching. Her team is currently conducting another study exploring various scenarios to enhance the effectiveness of artificial reefs (reef balls) in ecological restoration projects.
