After graduating as the top student from the Faculty of Architecture at Selçuk University (Türkiye), I pursued in MSc Architectural Design program at Yıldız Technical University (Türkiye). During my master's studies, I also worked as a research assistant at KTO Karatay University (Türkiye), where I assisted with several lectures. Then, I completed MA Architecture and Urbanism program at the Manchester School of Architecture in 2022. My thesis explored the relationship between smart mobility and urban space. I joined the SSoA Lighting research group as a PhD student in 2024.
