Together with Karim Adiprasito, Evrydiki Nestoridi, Stavros Papadakis, Vasiliki Petrotou and Christos Tatakis, I organize the conference "Combinatorics and Geometry in Mytilene". The meeting will take place from May 25th to May 29th, 2026 on the beautiful island of Mytilene, Greece.
The registration is now open! For more details, please check the following link:

I am an assistant professor at Bilkent University. Prior to that,
I was a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven, my mentors were Johannes Nicaise and Arne Smeets;
I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Science, my mentors were Bernd Sturmfels and Daniele Agostini;
I did my PhD at University of Groningen under the supervision of J. Steffen Müller;
I did my MSc at Koç University under the supervision of Kâzım Büyükboduk;
I did my BSc at Mimar Sinan University and wrote my theses under the supervision of Ayhan Günaydın.
Here is a collection of my e-mail addresses: enis.kaya@bilkent.edu.tr, enis.kaya@kuleuven.be, enis.kaya@mis.mpg.de, e.kaya@rug.nl, eniskaya15@ku.edu.tr, 20100112045@msgsu.edu.tr.
My main research interest is in algorithmic arithmetic geometry. I am particularly interested in theoretical and algorithmic aspects of p-adic integration theories and p-adic height pairings on curves and abelian varieties, mostly in the case of bad reduction, and their applications to problems with an arithmetic flavor such as finding rational points on curves of genus at least two. Needless to say, I'm a member of the society of p-adicts! I also like topics in classical algebraic geometry and tropical geometry.
People working in and near p-adic integration theories really care about "wide open spaces", so do The Chicks.
