Hasan Demirkoparan joined CMU-Q in August 2005 to teach mathematics. His areas of interest are the mathematical modelling of fiber reinforced materials and swellable materials, as well as boundary value problems appearing in finite elasticity. Demirkoparan has an active NPRP grant that studies new mathematical models for the large strain swelling response of biological tissues: applications to edema, inflammation and pregnancy.
