I was born on July 6, 1982, in Gaziantep, a city in south-central Turkey near the Syrian border. Outside academia, I enjoy a balanced life centered on family, sport, music, and reading. I am a passionate supporter of Fenerbahçe and Al Nassr, and I have always loved football. In my free time, I enjoy reading books, watching nature, going out with my three sons, playing the guitar, and working out. These interests help me stay energetic, creative, and connected to the people and experiences that matter most to me.
For me, life is not only about mathematics and research. I value family moments, shared experiences, sport, travel, music, and simple everyday joys. The photographs below reflect some of these meaningful moments from my personal life.
