Welcome to My Official Website

I am Prof. Dr. Ismail Naci CANGUL, a mathematician born on August 14, 1967, in Diyarbakır, Turkey. My academic journey has been a rich one starting with my graduation with high honors from Uludag University in 1987.

Throughout my career, I have delved into intricate mathematical theories, earning a PhD in 1994 with a focus on "Normal Subgroups of Hecke Groups." After this purely theoretical start, I have studied many interrelated topics in Algebra, Number Theory, Topology, Algebraic Topology, Algebraic Geometry, Fuzzy Logic, Mathematical Physics, Chemistry, etc. and with the help of the urge to do some applications, I finally returned to Graph Theory and its applications when I realized that regular maps in my PhD thesis were actually graphs. So since 2009, my studies focused mainly on Graph Theory and its chemical, engineering, medical and social applications.

Beyond research, I have actively contributed to the academic community on administartive side, serving as a professor and taking on roles such as the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science, Rector's Advisor, International Office Coordinator, Erasmus and LLP Coordinator at Uludağ University, National Bologna Expert at National Agency and Turkish Higher Education Council.

I have published over 400 papers and 90 books, gave over 600 talks, over 40 projects and supervised over 40 MSc and PhD students.

My dedication extends to international collaborations, where I have participated in 4 European Union projects, published extensively, and received numerous awards for my contributions to academia.
