The Council of Higher Education shared this week's prominent scientific studies carried out at universities in Turkey in the fields of aviation, space, artificial intelligence, geology, and biodiversity.
TEKNOFEST Success
The Gökbörü Aviation and Space Team within Istanbul Technical University won first place in the Liquid-Fueled Rocket Engine Development Competition at TEKNOFEST 2026.
After a development process lasting approximately two years, the team successfully completed the ignition test of the liquid-fueled rocket engine named Bangu.
Astronaut Met with Students
Former NASA engineer and astronaut Aisha Bowe was hosted as part of a special program hosted by Çukurova University and Çukurova Technopark.
Bowe came together with high school and university students to share her experiences in space research and entrepreneurship.
Artificial Intelligence and Career
CVision, founded by graduates of OSTİM Technical University, brought universities, students, and companies together under a single roof.
The system in question was implemented as a career management platform supported by artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Custom-Designed Microphone
Dr. Uğur Balıoğlu from Ankara Music and Fine Arts University developed a binaural microphone that mimics the hearing mechanism of the human ear.
This developed prototype was designed with the aim of offering real-time calibration and a three-dimensional sound experience.
Geological Research
Comprehensive investigations were carried out in the Durupınar Formation in the Doğubayazıt district of Ağrı under the leadership of Sivas Cumhuriyet University.
A total of 366 core and soil samples were collected during the fieldwork conducted with international participation.
New Fly Species
Prof. Dr. Rüstem Hayat from Isparta University of Applied Sciences took part in an internationally conducted project.
As a result of the studies, an entirely new flower fly species was identified for the scientific world and named Orthonevra abdullahi.
