Hasım Yaman Bayram is a Ph.D. student in the Mediterranean Art and Archaeology program studying under Dr. Fotini Kondyli. His research investigates disaster resilience in Late Antiquity, focusing on how ancient societies innovated and adapted their infrastructure in response to environmental and social challenges. He is particularly interested in seismic impacts on hydraulic systems and the ways communities responded through repair, adaptation, and new construction.

He earned an M.Sc. in Architectural Conservation from Istanbul Technical University, where he carried out multiple conservation projects, after completing his B.Sc. in Civil Engineering at the same institution.
