Rate My Professor Yasemin Gurcan

In Fall 2014, Gurcan assumed a tenure-track faculty position at BMCC, where she was subsequently promoted to Associate Professor and granted tenure. She holds office hours in N-680D and is contactable at (212) 776-6884. In 2017, she joined the BMCC Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning and Scholarship (CETLS) Teaching Collaboratory as part of the 2017 Teaching Fellows cohort, collaborating with a mentor to develop strategies for improving student learning. Gurcan's research output includes collaborative publications archived in CUNY Academic Works, such as 'Characterization of New Algebras Resembling Colour Algebras based on Split-Octonion units in the Classification of Hadronic Symmetries and Supersymmetries' (2023), 'Quantum Symmetries: From Clifford and Hurwitz Algebras to M-Theory and Leech Lattices' (2018), 'Supergroups in Critical Dimensions and Division Algebras' (2017, with Čestmir Burdik, Sultan Catto, Amish Khalfan, Levent Kurt, V. Kato La), 'Clifford Algebras and Their Decomposition into Conjugate Fermionic Heisenberg Algebras' (2016), 'Unifying Ancient and Modern Geometries Through Octonions' (2016), 'Algebraic Formulation of Hadronic Supersymmetry Based Upon the Symmetric SU(6) Model' (2014), 'Hadronic mass formulae' (2019), and 'SO(9,1) Group and Examples of Analytic Functions' (2019). These works reflect her contributions to theoretical physics topics involving supersymmetry, algebras, and particle physics symmetries.
