+We’re excited to welcome Dr. İlker Karadağ to our lab as a visiting scientist at the Georgia Tech School of Architecture!
+
+Supported by a TÜBİTAK 2219 Fellowship, Ilker’s research focuses on applying machine learning to predict pedestrian-level wind conditions around buildings, advancing sustainable urban design and architectural aerodynamics.
+
+Ilker was also recently recognized in the August 2025 update of Stanford’s science-wide author citation impact list, highlighting his contributions to architecture, building, and urban simulation research.
+
+During his stay, Ilker will collaborate with our students and Patrick Kastner, strengthening international research ties and knowledge exchange.
+
+Please join us in welcoming Ilker to the lab! 🙌
