Dr. Gül is a renowned researcher and educator who has made significant contributions to the field of civil and environmental engineering. His current research is focused on developing novel technologies for smart, sustainable, and resilient cities and societies, with a special emphasis on Crowdsensing-based Monitoring of Built and Natural Environments (CoMBiNE). Throughout his career, Dr. Gül has led over 25 large-scale research projects in the infrastructure and energy areas, which were funded by various federal and provincial organizations and industry partners. Additionally, he has published more than 90 journal papers and over 100 conference papers in the areas of infrastructure and energy. Dr. Gül received his BSc and MSc in Civil Engineering from Boğaziçi University in Turkey in 2002 and 2004, respectively. He then pursued his doctoral studies at the University of Central Florida (UCF), obtaining his PhD in Civil Engineering in 2009 on monitoring of civil infrastructure systems. While conducting his postdoctoral research, he also obtained an MSc degree in Electrical Engineering at the UCF in 2011 with a focus on image/signal processing and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Since 2011, Dr. Gül has been an Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor at the University of Alberta. His research interests lie in the area of smart, sustainable, energy-efficient, and resilient cities, with a focus on two main areas: developing smart, sustainable, and resilient infrastructure systems, and developing smart, sustainable, and energy-efficient communities and cities. In the first area of research, Dr. Gül and his team are developing technologies for CoMBiNE, which involves the use of crowdsourcing to collect data on the built and natural environments. This data is then analyzed using AI, digital signal and image processing, and data analytics to develop smart, sustainable, and resilient infrastructure systems. Dr. Gül and his team are also exploring ways to develop smart, sustainable, and energy-efficient communities and cities. This includes investigating solar PV systems and their integration into energy-efficient buildings, community/city-wide solar PV applications, energy-efficient smart buildings, and net-zero/net-plus energy homes. Additionally, Dr. Gül and his team are using IoT applications to develop energy-efficient buildings. Dr. Mustafa Gül is a highly accomplished professor and researcher who is making significant contributions to the field of civil and environmental engineering. His research in developing novel technologies for smart, sustainable, and resilient cities and societies is making a positive impact on the world.
