He is teaching - research academic staff in Soil Science and Ecology Department at IU-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Forestry, since 1998. His study objectives are forest ecosystems, soil microbial ecology, soil biogeochemistry, mountainous lands, soil properties change along edaphic and physiographical gradients, forest floor properties, soil nitrogen cycle. His PhD dissertation was on reclamation and rehabilitation the recently abandoned open coal mine residuals. He has joined into several TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) projects as a research staff that was for investigation of growth relations of black pine, the microfungal flora of orchid species in Turkey and plant communities, composition and along with edaphic factors.
