Two faculty members from our department, Associate Professor Meltem Yanılmaz and Associate Professor Özgür Atalay, have been recognized in this prestigious list of the world's most influential scientists.

The 2023 results of the annual list of the world's most influential scientists, prepared in collaboration with Elsevier and Stanford University, have been announced. The study included 223,152 scientists worldwide in the "Annual Impact" category and 217,097 scientists in the "Career-Long Impact" category. Rankings were based on objective criteria such as the number of high-quality publications, citations to these publications, patent counts, h-index, and hm-index.

İstanbul Technical University (İTÜ) has demonstrated a consistent rise in both categories over the past five years. In the "Annual Impact" category, İTÜ had 45 academics listed in 2020, increasing to 50 in 2021, 51 in 2022, 62 in 2023, and 66 in 2024. Similarly, in the "Career-Long Impact" category, the numbers rose from 39 in 2020 to 52 in 2021, 60 in 2022, 67 in 2023, and 72 in 2024.

İTÜ Faculty of Textile Technologies and Design

Textile Engineering Department of Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ) is the first and the single one offering textile engineering education in Istanbul, and also comes first among the top textile engineering schools in Turkey. Its history could be traced back to 1955; the year in which the textile division was established in the body of Mechanical Engineering. The school gained its current name and independent status in 1983. Therefore, it is obvious that the Textile Engineering Department is fairly new compared to the history of İTÜ stretching back to 240 years.
