I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Sabanci University, Turkey working with Dr. Gul Gunaydin and Dr. Emre Selcuk. I completed my doctoral training at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor working with Dr. Robin Edelstein and Dr. Amie Gordon.

Broadly, I am interested in social relationships and their implications for well-being. I aim to understand how people can maintain high-quality relationships, especially during stressful times, and how relationships can influence well-being. Lately, I've been examining how these processes unfold across cultures.

Below are some examples of my latest research. See here for more.
