Assist. Prof. Dr. Goknur Berber Narin is a Turkish civil engineer whose academic journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Süleyman Demirel University, followed by a Master’s (thesis on logistics-hub site selection) and a Ph.D. (dissertation on modeling highway traffic noise) at Karadeniz Technical University. Professionally, she serves as Assistant Professor at Doğubayazıt Ahmedi Hani Vocational School, Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University, where she teaches, supervises, and leads research projects. Her research interests center on transportation engineering, environmental noise modeling, logistics decision systems, and pavement performance, with a particular emphasis on how meteorological conditions, vehicle composition, and infrastructure types influence road noise and logistics hub siting. She is skilled in multi-criteria decision-making methods (AHP and Delphi), noise measurement and modeling, concrete durability assessment, and statistical and computational modeling. She has participated in several national research projects: for instance, she leads a TÜBİTAK-funded study on modeling road traffic noise under varying topography and meteorological conditions, and is a researcher on projects analyzing polypropylene fiber in concrete joints and ultrasonic testing of road concrete layers. Her work has been published in international refereed journals and presented at international conferences, demonstrating her active engagement in both theory and practice. Among her honors are the 2021 YTMK Master’s Thesis Award from the Turkish National Roads Committee and the EMAY Incentive Award from EMAY International Engineering & Consultancy, reflecting recognition for her academic excellence. She has also obtained multiple professional certifications, including training in traffic safety, geospatial data (GIS), environmental vibration measurement, damage detection in buildings, and advanced material testing, underscoring her commitment to both teaching and applied research. In conclusion, Assist. Prof. Dr. Goknur Berber Narin is a dedicated scholar whose rich educational background, project leadership, publication record, and cross-disciplinary skills make her a rising influence in sustainable infrastructure research and civil engineering education.
