RESEARCH PROFILE

Prof. Dr. Tunçer’s work focuses on the complex relationship between use and usage patterns of (urban) spaces, users’ perception and appreciation of these spaces, and the influence of physical attributes of these spaces on these. The goal is to develop data-driven AI methodologies for creating design and decision support tools and platforms that are used by designers, planners, policy makers, engineers, and other stakeholders within the built environment sector. Her chair’s research focuses on data collection, information and knowledge modeling and visualization, for informed architectural and urban design, energy transition, urban resilience, digital construction and linked data, and nature based solutions.

Prof. Dr. Tunçer is an established leader in the field of evidence based design and urban science. She leads and participates in various large multi-disciplinary research grants in evidence informed design and planning, IoT, urban science, AI, big data, and digital twins. She has often been invited to conferences and workshops in academia, government agencies, and industry as a keynote speaker, and sits on academic, government, and industry panels and boards. She has numerous publications in influential academic journals and proceedings, and these have been cited widely in the academic community. Her work has been exhibited at international exhibitions and has won awards.
