İstanbul Medipol Üniversitesi Güzel Sanatlar Tasarım ve Mimarlık Fakültesi'nde Prof. Dr. öğretim üyesi olarak görev yapan Gülhan Benli, 1991 yılında Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi Mimarlık Bölümü'nde Lisans eğitiminin tamamlamasının ardından Rölöve Restorasyon Bölümlerinde yüksek lisans ve doktora derecelerini tamamlamıştır. Sit alanları ve tarihi yapıların belgelenmesi, korunması ve onarımı konularında araştırmalar yapan Benli, kentsel tasarım, 3 boyutlu tarama teknolojisi ile rölöve alımı ve sayısal belgeleme teknikleri konularında çalışmalar yapmaktadır. Akademik araştırmalar kapsamında 40 makale, 7 kitap bölümü ve “Kültürel Miras Alanlarında Analiz Yöntemleri” konulu kitap yayınlayan Benli, pek çok ulusal ve uluslararası projelerde yürütücü olarak görev almıştır.

She served as a faculty member at the Faculty of Marine Sciences, Karadeniz Technical University, between 1990 and 2003, where she also earned her doctoral degree. Following her Ph.D., Prof. Dr. Nüket Sivri conducted postdoctoral research at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) in the United Kingdom. During her associate professorship stage, she carried out projects and studies primarily focused on environmental interactions and microbial dynamics in coastal areas and antibiotic resistance mechanisms across different environmental settings.
Over the past 25 years, she has particularly concentrated on the Istanbul coastal zone, undertaking diverse projects as principal investigator and researcher to assess anthropogenic pressures and their ecological consequences. Her core research areas include regional and global-scale environmental impact assessment of aquatic ecosystems and coastal zones, antibacterial resistance in aquatic environments, water sanitation, and water quality, as well as indoor–outdoor microbial air quality.
More recently, together with her research team, she has been engaged in both national and international projects addressing globally emerging topics such as developing rapid methodologies for detecting the toxicity of industrial and domestic wastewater in marine ecosystems and elucidating the impacts of microplastics on aquatic microorganisms.
Prof. Dr. Nüket Sivri also participated in the 8th National Antarctic Science Expedition, conducted under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye, organized by the Ministry of Industry and Technology, and coordinated by TÜBİTAK MAM Polar Research Institute, where she performed field studies on the Antarctic Peninsula and Horseshoe Island. Additionally, she pursues research adopting a holistic perspective that prioritizes ecosystem health within the "One Health" approach framework.
