Assoc. Prof. Dr. Alper Bideci is a leading researcher in construction materials, recognized for his extensive contributions to lightweight concrete technology, polymer-coated aggregates, sustainable building materials, and the performance optimization of cement-based composites. His scholarly work spans mechanical behavior, thermal performance, durability enhancement, fracture energy, shrinkage, creep, and microstructural characterization of advanced concretes, supported by experimental testing and image-processing-based evaluation methods. Dr. Bideci has published numerous high-impact articles in SCI-Expanded journals, including significant studies on polyester-coated pumice aggregates, fiber-reinforced calcium aluminate concrete under elevated temperatures, homogeneity assessment in EPS-integrated mortars, environmental performance of insulated façade panels using life cycle assessment, and the influence of hemp fibers, waste tyre additives, and polymer modifications on strength and fracture properties. His investigations have advanced understanding of eco-efficient composites, permeability control, color and structural homogeneity, and the integration of industrial by-products in construction materials. Dr. Bideci’s research additionally encompasses polymer coatings for lightweight aggregates, the structural behavior of self-compacting concretes containing waste materials, and performance assessments of historical brick and concrete systems through experimental methods. He has led and contributed to funded research projects on polymer-coated aggregates and historical building materials and has achieved substantial international recognition, with over 350 citations reflecting his global impact. His consistent achievements have been honored repeatedly with the Scientific Encouragement Awards of the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), recognizing his sustained advancements in high-performance, durable, and sustainable construction materials.
