Prof. Dr. Erhan Karaesmen graduated from Istanbul Technical University as a Master of Civil Engineering in 1959 and completed his doctoral studies at Paris Sorbonne University Faculty of Applied Sciences between 1961 and 1965. He worked at the European International Concrete Committee Research Unit between 1962 and 1965, and then joined the R.C Reese research and project group in the USA in 1966. In 1966, upon the written invitation of our METU Rector, Mr. Kemal Kurdaş, he joined the Department of Civil Engineering as a faculty member. He served as the head of the department in 1971-1972. After serving as Undersecretary at the Ministry of Local Government between 1978 and 1980, he returned to teaching at METU Civil Engineering Department. He has won various awards for some of his work on advanced construction technologies such as Earthquake Engineering, preservation and restoration of historical monuments, prefabrication and post-tensioned concrete. He gave importance to studies that would bring his interest and knowledge in technical and artistic subjects closer to the branches of engineering and architecture. In addition to his books and articles on technical subjects, he also has many art-oriented books and articles. Karesmen passed away on July 23, 2024.
