I am Assistant Professor at Sabancı Üniversitesi, Istanbul, Türkiye since September 2016. 

Research interest

My research interest lies in the intersection of Commutative Algebra, Combinatorics and Algebraic Statistics. Combinatorial Commutative Algebra (monomial and binomial ideals  arising from posets, hypergraphs, simplicial complexes, polymatroids and polyominoes, toric algebras and combinatorics of affine semigroups). Homological methods in Commutative Algebra (free resolutions, Betti numbers, regularity, asymptotic homological properties of powers of graded ideals, Cohen-Macaulay and Gorenstein modules). Gröbner basis theory and applications. A part of my research requires intensive use of Computer Algebra softwares SINGULAR, CoCoA and Macaulay2 and developing packages to facilitate the computations.
