Saip Nami Kartal (born 1969) is a Turkish wood scientist and professor at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa in Turkey, who is an elected fellow (FIAWS) of the International Academy of Wood Science.[1][2]
Early life and studies
[edit]Kartal was born in Düzce, Turkey, on 18 April 1969, and lived in his hometown before enrolling at Istanbul University.
He completed his BSc in forest industrial engineering, graduating with honors in 1990. He eventually earned a PhD degree in wood protection from Istanbul University in 1999.[3]
Research career
[edit]Kartal conducted postdoctoral research at Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, USA (1999–2001), followed by a JSPS funded fellowship at the Kyoto University in the years 2002–2004. He returned to Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, progressing to full professor and spearheading the Department of Forest Biology and Wood Protection Technology. Kartal has published over 140 peer reviewed articles in topics such as wood nanomaterial preservation, termite and fungal decay resistance of wood, and boron-based wood treatment.[4]. He additionally carried out research work on the contact charring and wood preservation technique originating from Japan, the Yakisugi.[5] The research work of Kartal has received -until June 2025- over 4,300 international citations at the database of Google Scholar, having an h-index of 38.[6]
In 2013, the International Academy of Wood Science, a nonprofit organization of recognised wood scientists,[7] elected Nami Kartal as a fellow,[8] the highest honour in the field of wood science and technology,[9][10][11] for his research and scientific work.[12]
In 2022-2023, he was affiliated with the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia, where he held the position of adjunct professor at the university's Faculty of Science, Health, Education and Engineering, being associated with the National Centre for Timber Durability and Design Life.[13][14]
In 2023, a meta-research carried out by John Ioannidis et al. at Stanford University included Kartal in Elsevier Data 2022, where he was ranked at the top 2% of researchers in wood science (forestry – biotechnology).[15] In August 2024, Nami Kartal acquired the same international distinction for his research and scientific work in wood science (Elsevier Data 2023).[16]
