Istanbul native, I moved to Berlin in 2016 to complete my Master's degree in Economics and start my academic career at Humboldt University. After finishing my degree, I knew for sure that my future lay in academia, so I applied for the Ph.D. program at the Berlin School of Economics (BSE). 

Being admitted to BSE was a major breakthrough in my life to find what I was looking for. During my years in Berlin, I have developed a passion for behavioral research, experimental design, field experiments, and disentangling gender constructs.

A proud nerd, I enjoy reading about societal constructs, social dilemmas, and the environment. I still enjoy camping and hiking very much. I also recently discovered that I can actually write children's books. I'm always eager to learn and stay curious.
