Prof. Leo G Sapogin
Techical University-MADIRussiaBiography
Leo G Sapogin currently lives in Moscow, Russia. He began in 1954 to study in Taganrog Radio-technical University and graduated (Dept.
of solid state physics) in 1959. He served during his military service from 1959 to 1972 at Ministry of Defence as the scientific adviser.
Candidate of science (1966). He maintained (1971) the doctor degree in Leningrad State University. In 1972 to 1985, he was the Head
of Theoretical Department in Russia Academy of Science. Since 1985 till present he is the Head of Physical Department of Technical
University – MADI .He is the author (or coauthor) of numerous (over 200) published scientific articles, 4 books, school supplies. He obtained (with V.Boichenko), first, very important scientific result: calculating (with accuracy more 0.3%) of the electrical electron charge
and of the fine structure constant -1/137. He published (2005) in USA and Russia (together with Prof. Yu.Ryabov and V.Boichenko) the
book named “Unitary Quantum Theory and New Source of Energy”. Together with Ryabov he calculated mass spectrum of elementary
particles and mass bozon Higgs - 131.7 GeV. Professor L.Sapogin - academic of Russian Academy of Natural Science and World Academy of Complex Safety. He was honored with 7 medals and Orders. In addition to his interests in science and classical music, Professor
L.Sapogin has an interest in mountaineering. During 1956-1996, he had more than 200 ascensions in Caucases, Tyan-Schan, Pamir and
Alps. His biography is included in collection books of Who’s Who in the World (2006), of International Biographic Centre, Cambridge
(2009) and of American Biographical Inst. (2009).

Dr. Ozgur Kisi
University of applied sciences in LübeckGermanyBiography
Dr. Kisi worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Applied Sciences Lübeck,
Germany (2021–2025). He previously held prominent academic positions, including Professor at Ilia
State University, Georgia (2017–2021), and Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Engineering at
Basari University, Turkey (2012–2016). He also served as Head of the Civil Engineering
Department at Erciyes University (2011–2012).
He received his Ph.D. in Hydraulic Engineering from Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, in
2003. Over the years, Dr. Kisi has gained recognition for his innovative contributions to hydrology,
hydro-informatics, and environmental sciences. His research primarily focuses on advancing water
resources engineering through the development of innovative modeling and prediction techniques.
This includes suspended sediment, streamflow, groundwater, flood and drought modeling, and novel
trend analysis methods. He employs advanced statistical and machine learning (ML) approaches,
including explainable ML and deep learning, combined with remote sensing data, empirical mode
decomposition, and wavelet analysis. Additionally, He explores spatial and temporal hydroclimatic
patterns using cutting-edge graphical trend methods, such as innovative trend analysis, innovative
polygon trend analysis and wavelet analysis. He also integrates wavelet analysis, remote sensing,
and machine learning with metaheuristic optimization techniques to address global challenges in
these domains.
Dr. Kisi has been a recipient of prestigious awards such as the 2006 International Tison Award
(Link 1) by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) and the Best Discussion
Award by the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil
Engineers (ASCE) in 2023. He was recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher by Clarivate in 2021
and consistently ranked among the Top 2% of Scientists Worldwide (Link 2) by Stanford
University (2020–2024)
