Prof. Kök’s academic works included 206 articles in SCI journals and 83 international conference papers. He has served as project coordinator in 4 European Union Sixth Framework Program projects in the fields of energy and environment, and as project coordinator/researcher in 6 international and 15 TÜBİTAK projects. His publications in international indexes received more than 6000 citations and his Web of Science (WoS) h-index is 48 (51 on Scopus and 56 on Google).

Prof. Kök received the Science Awards from the National Foundation for Development of Mining in 2007 and from the Prof. Dr. Mustafa Parlar Foundation in 2008. With more than 20 outstanding achievement awards, Prof. Kök also received the TÜBİTAK Incentive Award in 1999 and the International Leader Scientist and Engineer Award by OIC in 2008.

On April 19, 2023, Prof. Kök was honored with the Jubilee Medal of the Republic of Azerbaijan. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate title by Kazan Federal University on February 28, 2019 and by Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University on November 5, 2022.

Prof. Kök, who was elected as the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at METU in November 2015, has been serving as the Rector of METU since July 2016. Prof. Dr. Kök is a Principal Member of the Turkish Academy of Sciences (TÜBA).
