Introduction
Computational modeling is used across engineering disciplines to represent transport, reaction, mineralization, and material behavior. In FRP-related research, computational approaches can support interpretation of material performance and complex engineering processes. Cosgun’s documented research includes a 2026 Applied Geochemistry article on CO2 sequestration through steel-slag weathering and mineralization dynamics. [2]
Research Profile
Cosgun’s Scopus profile identifies 2 documents, 13 citations, and an h-index of 1. [1] His listed subject area is Computational Modeling Simulation of FRPs. His professional appointment as Division GeoUnit Manager at SLB Middle East S.A. adds an industry dimension to his technical background.
Research Contributions
The documented publication examines geochemical modeling of CO2 sequestration through steel-slag weathering, focusing on reactive transport and mineralization dynamics. [2] Such modeling contributes to understanding coupled chemical and transport processes involved in carbon management. A second listed contribution, published in the Journal of Cleaner Production, concerns the potential role of carbon dioxide removal in a decarbonized, net-negative-emission steel industry. [3]

Research Impact
The available citation record indicates that Cosgun’s publications have received 13 citations. [1] The research topics connect computational modeling with carbon management and mineralization, areas relevant to environmental engineering and industrial decarbonization. The available evidence describes a developing research profile rather than a broad publication portfolio.
Award Suitability
For the Best Researcher Award category, the documented record provides identifiable scholarly output, citation activity, a Scopus author profile, and research involving computational and geochemical modeling. The evidence can be considered alongside publication relevance, research contribution, citation record, professional experience, and alignment with the subject scope of the International Research Awards on Fiberreinforced Polymer.
Conclusion
Erdinc Cosgun’s documented profile reflects an intersection of computational modeling, geochemical research, carbon sequestration, and engineering practice. His listed publications and Scopus metrics provide measurable indicators of scholarly activity, while his professional role contributes an applied engineering dimension to the overall profile.
