Peer-reviewed contributions to preventive and rehabilitative science.
Assoc. Prof. Dr Gokhan YAGIZ is an early-career scientist who completed his PhD in 2023 from the UK and has a publication record that began only during the latter half of his PhD, following years of intensive methodological training and research preparation. Despite this relatively recent publication history, he has rapidly established an internationally recognised research profile. In just over four years, he has authored 14 peer-reviewed publications indexed in WoS, with 86% appearing in Q1 journals, accumulated more than 200 citations (scholar), contributed to research projects supported by approximately €500,000 in competitive funding, and built an extensive international research network spanning Europe, North America, and Asia. His research combines sports medicine, rehabilitation science, musculoskeletal imaging, quantitative image analysis, and artificial intelligence to advance precision diagnostics, injury prevention, healthy ageing, and human performance.

A comprehensive record of scientific publications in high-impact physical therapy, quantitative ultrasound, and sports medicine journals.

A distinguishing feature of Dr. YAGIZ's career is his early research independence. Since beginning to publish during the latter half of his PhD, he has personally conceived, designed, and led almost all of his published studies, resulting in an recognised research profile within just over four years.

Assoc. Prof. Yagiz completed his MSc and PhD degrees in the United Kingdom. During his doctoral studies, he conducted research in Belgium, Japan, Indonesia, and the UK before undertaking a postdoctoral research position in the United States.
