Sinan Korkmaz is a structural engineer working on biomimetic characteristics of active deployable tensegrity structures. Korkmaz's work focuses on the following aspects of tensegrity structures:
# design an active control system in order to ensure damage tolerance of a deployable tensegrity pedestrian [[bridge]]
# extend existing strategies for self-diagnosis of the deployable tensegrity bridge to avoid ambiguous results
# extend existing strategies in order to achieve a more robust self-repair scheme
# develop algorithms that allow the active control system to learn efficiently using case-based reasoning
# validate the methodologies developed with experiments on a near full-scale (1/3) model.

===Korkmaz educational and career details===
Korkmaz did his undergraduate work in civil engineering at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) and in business administration at Anadolu University (AU) (double major). He obtained a M.Sc. degree from Advanced Mechanics of Materials and Structures program at Bauhaus University (BU) Graduate School in Structural Engineering. He is working toward a Ph.D. at Swiss Federal institute of Technology (ETH) since December 2008.
