We are deeply saddened by the loss of Durmuş Ali Demir, an esteemed member of the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences. Durmuş Ali Demir, who had been teaching in the field of theoretical physics at our university since September 2019, was among the leading names in his field, not only in our country but also in the international community.
