I am Ensar, a Ph.D. candidate and Lab Manager at the Moral Intuitions Lab in Istanbul. I work at the intersection of social psychology and behavioral economics, with an international research network.

My research examines the co-evolution of biological and cultural foundations of morality, cooperation, and belief systems within a Dual Inheritance Theory framework. Using experimental and cross-cultural methods, I study how biological predispositions, cultural norms, and cognitive styles shape social behavior, with a strong emphasis on methodological rigor and open science.

This website showcases my research and ongoing work. Feel free to explore and get in touch—I'm open to joint projects within and beyond academia.
