Welcome.

I am currently on the job market, seeking roles in both academia and the private sector.  I am primarily looking for an Assistant/Associate Professor position in Economics, or an empirical research role in the private sector.

I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from Vanderbilt University (USA), and BSc. in Economics from both London School of Economics (UK) and Istanbul Bilgi University (Turkiye).

My areas of expertise are Monetary Economics, Macroeconomics, Time Series Analysis.

I conduct quantitative data analysis using advanced statistical and econometric methods, primarily utilizing MATLAB and Stata. When needed and to support my analysis, I employ SQL/MySQL to manage and manipulate large datasets from RDBMS. I convert complex data into clear visual stories by creating interactive dashboards in Power BI. To document and report the outcomes to stakeholders, I use LaTeX and Microsoft Office Suite. Beyond technical execution, I contribute to strategic discussions and engage in collaborative sessions to evaluate key analytical insights and define next steps.

Here is a copy of my CV.
