Short biography
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Edouard Hannezo at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria. I focus on merging theory with experimental data analysis to explore collective cell migration and tissue morphogenesis.

I pursued my PhD in theoretical physics, followed by a postdoc phase, at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Germany. I worked with Reinhard Lipowsky on developing theoretical models for collective behavior of molecular motors.

I studied physics at the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin). During my undergrad I was interested in quantum optics, and for Master's thesis, I focused on quantum gravity.

During a research visit at the University of Nottingham, I had the opportunity to work with John W. Barrett on "spin-foam models", which are candidates for a quantized space-time structure.

During my studies, I also enjoyed playing cello in the joint student symphony orchestra Collegium Musicum from TU and FU Berlin.

I was born and grew up in Istanbul. My high school Istanbul Lisesi was located on the European side, whereas I lived on the Asian side, so switching between continents became kind of hard-wired in my brain early on.
