Originally from Istanbul, I relocated to Berlin in 2016 to pursue a Master’s degree in Economics, marking the start of my academic career at Humboldt University. Driven by a passion for research, I joined the Berlin School of Economics (BSoE) for my Ph.D., which was a transformative step in defining my career path. I am now a postdoctoral researcher at the Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH), where I continue to deepen my dedication to behavioral research, experimental design, and data analysis, particularly around gender constructs.

Over the years, Berlin has been more than an academic base - it’s been where I discovered my enthusiasm for exploring societal constructs, social dilemmas, and gender identity.

A proud nerd, I'm constantly on the lookout for new insights and learning opportunities. Outside of research, I love being outdoors, and I've recently discovered a new passion: attempting to create books for children. My curiosity is endless, and I'm always eager to see what's next.
