About
Muammer Semih Sonkor is a researcher at the forefront of cybersecurity in construction, specializing in the intersection of operational technology (OT) and digital transformation on construction sites. His work critically examines the vulnerabilities introduced by robotic, autonomous, and remotely controlled machinery, addressing a pressing gap in construction safety and resilience. His most cited paper, "Operational Technology on Construction Sites: A Review from the Cybersecurity Perspective" (2021, 57 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding cyber risks in modern construction environments. Sonkor further advances this field through detailed vulnerability assessments, such as his 2022 study on autonomous site monitoring systems, and by distilling practical insights from competitive cybersecurity challenges like the "Hack My Robot" competition (2023). These contributions highlight his commitment to bridging theoretical risk analysis with real-world construction applications. With a growing citation impact and a focus on protecting increasingly digitized construction ecosystems, Sonkor is establishing himself as a key voice in ensuring that the industry’s technological leap forward does not come at the cost of security.
