Short Bio

I got my BSc from Istanbul Bilgi University and PhD from the UW-Madison.

Prior to my current position, I held post-doctoral positions at the University of Warwick (where I was a Marie Curie Fellow), at the University of Barcelona and at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany.

I also held visitor positions at the HIM (Bonn), ICERM (Providence), IEM (Essen), MSRI (Berkeley) and MPIM (Bonn).

My wife Rosamaria Kostic Cisneros is a dancer, dance historian and critic, film maker and Roma scholar.
