We are pleased to welcome Enis Kostak as a new postdoctoral fellow in SFI Dsolve. Enis will be part of Research Area 3, where he will focus on applications of biodegradable materials in fisheries and aquaculture.
In his role, Enis will work on evaluating and testing biodegradable materials with potential use in aquaculture systems and fishing gear. His research will contribute to ongoing efforts within Dsolve to explore more sustainable material solutions, supporting the transition towards reduced environmental impact in marine industries.
Enis holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in fisheries engineering and fishing technology from Ege University. He previously worked as a research fellow at Ege University, where he was involved in the DEEPSEA Photonic Sensors project, focusing on innovative sensor applications for marine environments.
He completed his PhD at UiT The Arctic University of Norway as part of SFI Harvest, where his research focused on fishing gear technology, specifically catch and energy efficiency in trawls targeting mesopelagic fish, Calanus, and northern krill. In addition, he has practical experience from the aquaculture sector, where he worked as a maintenance engineer.
With his combined background in fisheries technology, aquaculture, and applied research, Enis brings valuable expertise to Dsolve’s work on reduce plastic litter and associated problems caused by the fishery and aquaculture industries.
We look forward to his contributions to the centre and to strengthening the link between material innovation and real-world fisheries and aquaculture systems.
