*My full name is Gulizar Sedanur Albayrak. I publish as Seda Albayrak.*
About me: I am a female mathematician who is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics&Statistics at the University of Calgary working with Khoa Nguyen. I recently completed my PhD at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Jason Bell.
You can find a copy of my CV here.
Research Interests: Number theory, algebra and their interactions with automata theory. Algebraic combinatorics and arithmetic dynamics.

Extracurricular: Not as passionate as I am about math, but I really like watching movies and talking about them afterwards. See my movie blog here: What I think of a movie, where I write about what I think of a movie I saw. I am also a member of two separate book clubs which I actively participate in on a regular basis (see here for my booklists).
