We would like to congratulate Emeritus Prof. Dr. H. Nevzat Özgüven of our Department for his continued scientific contributions to the field of structural dynamics and experimental modal analysis.
In recent years, Prof. Özgüven has remained actively engaged with the international research community through tutorials, advanced courses, invited seminars, and keynote presentations at leading institutions and conferences.
Highlights of his recent activities include:
• Tutorials and short courses at the International Modal Analysis Conference (IMAC 2024, 2025, and 2026)
• Advanced course on experimental substructuring at the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM), Udine, Italy
• Invited seminar at Airbus Defence and Space, Madrid
• Keynote lecture at the International Conference on Experimental Continuation in Nonlinear Dynamics (XCON), Liège
• Invited seminar at Imperial College London
• European patent on a novel experimental modal analysis method for nonlinear engineering structures
These activities reflect Prof. Özgüven’s enduring influence on nonlinear structural dynamics and his continued engagement with both academia and industry.
We are proud to see his work continuing to represent the strong scientific tradition of METU Mechanical Engineering.
