Chemical and solid-state thermodynamics (Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire) of materials; In situ laboratory and synchrotron x-ray diffraction (Bragg-Brentano and EDXRD); Electric field and pressure assisted processing of inorganic and nonmetallic solids. Experimental micromechanics of alloys, ceramics, coatings and films; Mechanical, thermal, electrical, elasto-dielectric (linear and nonlinear) properties of ceramics, coatings and heteroepitaxial thin films; Amorphous metals and thermal barrier coatings for nuclear applications; linear and nonlinear dielectric ceramics and thin films for rf/microwave applications, finite size effects in ferroelectrics, and electrochemical and electromechanical actuation phenomena in engineering materials. Recent research focused on SLA-3D Printing and pressureless sintering of ZrC ceramics, high temperature phase equilibria in UHTC, arc melting of UHTC for applications under extreme conditions (hypersonics, fission reactors, cryogenics)

Dr. Akdoğan is an associate editor of ACerS IJACT and IJCSE journals. He is a senior member of IEEE-UFFC; he is a member of the Ferroelectrics Committee and its Publication Chair. His contributions included: Education Committee Chair of UFFC Society (2004-2008), Travel and Local Arrangements Chair of the 2007 IEEE-UFFC Ultrasonics Meeting in New York City; as Co-Organizer & Session Chair of the Nanomaterials Symposium at ISOPE 2010 in Beijing, China and ISOPE 2011 in Maui, HI, USA; and, as the Executive Committee Chair of Nano 2012 in Rhodes, Greece. He is a Scientific Committee Member, International Metallurgy and Materials Congress (IMMC'2020), Istanbul, Turkey. He is also a member of MRS, Sigma Xi and ACerS. He was the Co-Director and Co-PI of the Nano-structured Materials Laboratory at Rutgers University, and the Lead Experimenter at the X17-1 beamline at NSLS-I (2008-2014).
