Ceren Orak

I am an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at Sivas University of Science and Technology (SBTÜ), Türkiye, and the Director of the Energy Storage Research and Application Center (SEDAM).

My research expertise covers advanced materials for energy storage and conversion, lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, photocatalysis, hydrogen production, wastewater treatment and reuse, and machine learning-assisted process optimization.

At SEDAM, we conduct research on electrode materials, battery and supercapacitor technologies, electrochemical characterization, and energy storage system development. Our research infrastructure supports material processing, electrode preparation, cell assembly, and electrochemical performance evaluation.

I am particularly interested in integrating renewable energy generation, energy storage technologies, and intelligent energy management systems into sustainable urban infrastructure. My current collaborative interests include self-powered urban spaces, hybrid renewable energy systems, distributed energy storage, and smart energy solutions for municipalities.

I am seeking international partners from academia, industry, municipalities, and research organizations to develop interdisciplinary projects under the Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) Partnership, particularly in the areas of climate-neutral cities, urban energy transition, and sustainable urban infrastructure.

I am open to joint project development, technology demonstration, pilot-scale implementation, and knowledge exchange.
