Aydıner has given nearly one hundred invited speeches in the last five years.

Aydıner has published around a hundred original articles, mostly single-authored and mostly Q1.

Aydiner is a referee in approximately 50 of the most respected scientific journals in Physics and other fields (Nature, Medicine, Physical Review Letters, PRA, PRB, PRD, PRE, PRX, presearch, Physica A, QINP, EPJC, EPJD, EPJB, INP, PLA, PLB, EPL, IJTP, Physica Scripta, Frontiers in Physics, Canadian Journal of Physics, Universe, Physics of Dark Universe, Anealen der Physik, Universe, Symmetry, IJMPB, IJMPD…).

Aydıner's prestigious contributions to physics as discoveries:

1) Discovery of Joule-Thomson Expansion in Black Hole Physics: Aydıner, together with his student Dr Özgür Ökcü, published the studies titled "Joule-Thomson expansion of the charged AdS black holes" (Eur. Phys. J. C 77 24 (2017)) and "Joule-Thomson expansion of Kerr-AdS black holes" (Eur. Phys. J. C 78 123 (2018)). In these studies, Joule-Thomson expansion in black holes was predicted theoretically for the first time. These studies, called "pioneering discoveries" in the literature, opened a new field in black hole physics. Around 250 SCI articles have been published by international researchers based on both studies and both articles have been read/downloaded over 7159 times in total.

2) Chaotic Universe Theory: It was first put forward by Aydıner in 2018. As it is known, the Big Bang Theory, which is widely accepted in standard cosmology, cannot answer fundamental questions on many issues such as the emergence of the universe, the pre-universe, evolution, future, emergence of galaxies, and different evolutionary periods of the universe. Cyclic universe theories and quantum loop theories have been proposed to replace the Big Bang Theory. Unlike these theories, Aydıner published a new cosmology theory, the Chaotic Universe Theory, in 2018. This proposed theory not only offers a new perspective to cosmology but also answers many important questions that standard cosmology leaves unanswered. Chaotic Universe Theory is an alternative and comprehensive new cosmology theory. The relevant article was selected as the 2nd most read article in 2019. The article has been read/downloaded nearly 30 thousand times so far. See: Sci. Rep. 8 721 (2018) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-18681-4

3) Late time transition and hybrid scale factor: In this article, one of the biggest problems of physical cosmology, the transition from the matter-dominated period to the dark energy-dominated period, has been solved. Observational cosmology has discovered that the universe is not only expanding, but also expanding at an accelerated rate. This event is known as the transition from the matter-dominated period to the dark energy-dominated period. In the study led by Aydıner; It was shown for the first time in the literature that this transition can be explained if there is an interaction between dark matter and dark energy. Hybrid scale factor was obtained analytically from the solutions of the model for the first time in the literature. It was also shown that the solutions of the model explain the matter-dominated period (t^2/3) and the dark energy-dominated period (H=68-70 km s-1Mpc-1) with great precision.Another important theoretical discovery is that it was shown for the first time in the literature that it will be in the range of t_0=9.8-10 Billion years. This article, published in 2022, attracted great attention. The article was read/downloaded more than 6000 times by international researchers in a short time. See: Eur. Phys. J. C 82 39 (2022) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1140/epjc/s10052-022-09996-2

4) Anomalous Cyclic in the Neutrino Oscillations: Aydıner predicted and theorized for the first time that there would be anomalies in neutrino oscillations theoretically. According to the standard neutrino oscillation theory, neutrinos oscillate. In other words, a neutrino that starts life as an electron neutrino turns into a tau or muon neutrino. This is valid for all neutrinos. According to the theory, the oscillations of all neutrinos are periodic, even if their energies are different. However, Aydıner predicted that if the space in which the neutrinos move is deformed, their oscillation periods will cease to be periodic and the phase shift in their periods will increase during the movement. In this study, Aydıner also made a theoretical prediction for the detection of neutrinos that emerged at the beginning of the cosmic period and have not yet been observed. The relevant article was read/downloaded 3700 times in just one month. See: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-39871-3

5) Chaotic interactions between dark matter and dark energy: In this article, it was theoretically proven that the interaction of dark matter and dark energy, which constitutes 96% of the universe, must be chaotic. The interaction of dark matter and dark energy is an important problem in cosmology. Aydıner for the first time proposed a new interaction scheme that dark matter and dark energy interactions must be chaotic, and the proposed scheme was theoretically proven using the law of conservation of energy. This interaction scheme is a theoretical discovery in itself for modeling the dynamics of interacting systems. This scheme has shown for the first time that interacting thermodynamic systems contain hidden symmetries, hidden variables and hidden vectorial forces. This study has the potential to open a new era in cosmology. The results of this study will also obviously play an important role in every field of physics, especially in statistical thermodynamics. This study and its results contain groundbreaking theoretical discoveries not only in cosmology but also in every field of physics. In addition, Aydıner has presented new studies that support the model proposed in this study and generalize the results to all thermodynamic systems. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10773-024-05871-whttps://arxiv.org/abs/2304.06614

6) A new law of physics has been proposed by Aydıner based on interaction dynamics. This law is: “The dynamics of interacting particles and thermodynamic systems are chaotic.” https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.06614

7) The definition of chaos in physics was given for the first time by Aydıner. According to this new definition: “Chaos is the minimum action of interacting coupled, synchronized systems.” https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.06614

8) The first definition of self-organized systems was given by Aydıner. According to this new definition: “Self-organized systems are the manifestation of chaotic dynamics.” https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.06614

Aydıner, who is currently a faculty member at Istanbul University, is also a visiting researcher at Koç University Physics Department. Aydıner was also invited by the Physics Department of Princeton University, the most prestigious university in the world, to continue his scientific studies.
