In a distinguished ceremony held at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand, Prof. Dr. Baris Kiskan was honored with The Lifetime Contribution Award for his extensive and impactful research in Polybenzoxazine. This prestigious award recognizes Prof. Kiskan's significant contributions to the field, which have influenced both academic research and industrial applications globally. His pioneering work has not only advanced the understanding of polybenzoxazine chemistries but also paved the way for new innovations in high-performance materials.

Prof. Dr. Turan Öztürk has won the 2023 İTÜ Science Award (Basic Sciences field)

Prof. Turan Öztürk received his PhD degree from the University of East Anglia, UK, and then moved to the University of Kent at Canterbury, UK, as a postdoctoral fellow, where he developed a new method for the synthesis of fused 1,4-dithiin and thiophene rings from 1,8-diketones using Lawesson's reagent and P4S10.

Exploring the Influence of Dimensionality Reduction on Anomaly Detection Performance in Multivariate Time Series (Prof. Dr. Altan Çakır)

This paper presents an empirical study on integrating dimensionality reduction techniques with advanced unsupervised time series anomaly detection models, focusing on MUTANT and Anomaly-Transformer. Evaluated across MSL, SMAP, and SWaT datasets, the study examines PCA, UMAP, Random Projection, and t-SNE techniques. Findings show dimensionality reduction enhances anomaly detection performance and significantly reduces training times, particularly with UMAP for the MUTANT model. The study highlights the importance of selecting appropriate dimensionality reduction strategies for improved efficiency and accuracy in anomaly detection.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives: 2nd Annual “Social Sciences and Humanities Colloquium Series” was organized.

In the seminar series titled as “2nd Annual Social Sciences and Humanities Colloquium” had organized for the second time this year, speakers from different research fields addressed important topics. Filled with inspiring talks and interdisciplinary perspectives, this event offered participants an in-depth understanding of the social sciences and humanities.

A new article was published by Prof. Tuncay ZORLU and Prof. Aytekin ÇÖKELEZ.

As part of the 250th anniversary events of Istanbul Technical University, the article by Prof. Tuncay ZORLU and Prof. Aytekin ÇÖKELEZ titled “Bilim ve Teknoloji Tarihi Çalışmalarının İTÜ’deki Serencamı: Kişiler, Kurumlar, Programlar, Etkinlikler ve Yayınlar” (The Journey of History of Science and Technology Studies at ITU: People, Institutions, Programs, Events, and Publications) was published in the book "From the Ottoman Empire to the Republic: Politics, Society, and ITU".

İTÜ Faculty of Science and Letters

Istanbul Technical University Faculty of Science and Letters was founded on July 20, 1982 pursuant to the change of the name of Faculty of Fundamental Sciences. On the other hand, Faculty of Fundamental Sciences was established in 1971 by the gathering of the Department of Meteorology and the chairs of the departments lecturing fundamental and general sciences at different faculties at that time. In the academic year of 1971-1972, Meteorological Engineering program started. Then, in the academic year of 1973-1974, Mathematical Engineering program started to accept students and this department produced its first graduates in 1977.

Starting from the academic year of 1977-1978, departments related to economics have been separated from the Faculty of Fundamental Sciences and a new faculty has been established under the name of Faculty of Management Engineering. In the academic year of 1981-1982, Department of Physics Engineering has started to teach. The Department of Meteorology Engineering departed from Faculty of Science and Letters in 1982 and has been admitted to the Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Six departments of the Faculty of Chemistry, namely Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physics Chemistry, Theoretical Chemistry and Coordination Chemistry, have gathered under the Department of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science and Letters.

The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences was founded in 1997 to teach and do research on subjects related to humanities and social sciences.

The Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics was established in 1998 under the name of Department of Biology which had a major emphasis on molecular biology and genetics. In 1999, 22 students enrolled to this program. The Department of Biology has been transformed into the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics with the approval of the Higher Education Council in January 2000.

The Faculty of Science and Letters currently consists of Departments of Mathematics, Physics Engineering, Chemistry, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Molecular Biology and Genetics.
