About Fatma Başak Rakici
Fatma Başak Rakici is a PhD candidate enrolled in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University and conducts interdisciplinary research spanning wind energy systems, wind farm aerodynamics, and uncertainty-aware energy system modeling. She is co-advised by Prof. Yury Dvorkin of Civil and Systems Engineering (SEARCH Lab) and Prof. Dennice F. Gayme of Mechanical Engineering (Networked and Spatially Distributed Systems Research Group), working at the intersection of power systems and wind farm flow physics. Başak applies data-driven and machine learning approaches for aerodynamic model validation and reduced-order Annual Energy Production (AEP) estimation workflows. Passionate about advancing the global transition toward reliable and resilient renewable energy, she aims to bridge scientific modeling with real-world energy decision-making.
