Safak Arslantürkoglu specialises in the analysis and assessment of existing structures. His areas of expertise include seismic safety, the structural safety of underground parking garages with a particular focus on punching shear, and durability-related challenges.
After several years in engineering practice, he moved into research, where he focused on methods for the risk-based seismic assessment of existing structures. In late 2023, he completed his PhD at ETH Zurich with the thesis “Risk-Based Seismic Assessment of Existing Unreinforced Masonry Buildings in Switzerland”.
In addition to his work at LEO Consulting, he is a lecturer at ETH Zurich, where he serves as lead lecturer and programme coordinator of the continuing education programme CAS ETH in Seismic Evaluation and Retrofitting (CAS ETH SER).
