Prof. Karakus holds a BSc in Mining Engineering (1991) from Hacettepe University, Turkey, and a PhD in Mining and Minerals Engineering (2000) from the University of Leeds, UK. He is an adjunct chair Professor at the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan and is currently working at the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Adelaide. Prof. Karakus established the Cave Mining Research Centre at the University of Adelaide, where he and his team investigate various aspects of cave mining, including rockburst, mud-inrush and rock support designs for high-temperature rock mass environments. He is the Chief Investigator for $10 million in funded research and industry projects. He is also the CI-Key in the Australian Research Council Training Centre (ARC-ITTC) on sustainable ore extraction technologies using innovative composite materials and smart mining systems, leveraging machine learning.
In 2023, Prof. Karakus's exceptional contributions to the field of Mining and Minerals Resources were recognised when he was named the top national researcher in Australia. He leads a dynamic research group, which includes two professors, three associate professors, two senior lecturers, three post-doctoral researchers, and ten PhD students. This multidisciplinary team collaborates with the Australian Institute of Machine Learning, Mining, Petroleum, Chemical, and Civil Engineering. Prof. Karakus has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, further solidifying his international recognition.
Prof. Karakus is a member of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) Commission on Rockburst, the ISRM Commission on Deep Mining, and the International Committee for Mine Safety Science and Engineering (ICMSSE). He is Associate Editor of the International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences and Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering.
