Prof. Dr. Özcebe, who worked as a research assistant between 1980-1987, an assistant professor between 1988-1991, an associate professor between 1991-1998 and a professor between 1998-1993 at METU Department of Civil Engineering, served as Head of Department in the same department from 2006 to 2012. During his stay at Middle East Technical University, he also took responsibility for various departments, faculties, rectorate boards and commissions. He has taught structural mechanics, material mechanics and reinforced concrete courses at various levels at the university. He is the co-author of two books about reinforced concrete, one of which is in Turkish and the other is in English, and these books are used as source books in the undergraduate and graduate courses of reinforced concrete in the country. Prof. Dr. Özcebe has served as a facilitator, researcher and consultant in NATO Scientific Program for Peace and Security, European Union Framework Programs and many scientific projects supported by TUBITAK. His research interests include reinforced concrete structures, behaviors of structures under earthquake motions, and earthquake-resistant design. His research in the last 10 years has focused on the determination of earthquake safety of existing reinforced concrete structures and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures with insufficient earthquake safety. He has made available more than 100 scientific artifacts to the engineering community, including the results of their research to date. Professor Dr. Özcebe is a supreme board member of the preparation committee of the regulation named TSE500: Construction and Account Rules of Reinforced Concrete Buildings. He has actively participated in the preparation committee of the regulation entitled "Principles on Determination of Risky Buildings" prepared in accordance with the Law on the Conversion of Areas under Disaster Relief No 6306 and effectuated in July 2013. Between the years of 2000 and 2010, he worked as a delegate of the Turkish Standards Institute in the working group "ISO TC71: Concrete, Reinforced Concrete and Prestressed Concrete" and contributed to the establishment of ISO 15673 and ISO 19338 ISO regulations during this period. He is still a member of TMMOB Chamber of Civil Engineers, Turkish Earthquake Engineering Society, Turkish Bridge Construction Association and the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and continues to serve in various TMMOB-IMO and ACI committees.
