I am currently a PhD student at Hacettepe University, Ankara. In my PhD, I do research about algebraic geometry codes, coding theory, and algebraic invariants of algebraic geometry codes. Since 2021, I am supported by the Science Fellowships and Grant Programmes Department (BIDEB) within the scope of TUBITAK scholarship and support programs as a doctoral scholar in Turkey. 

I graduated from Hacettepe University, in July 2019, Math master program, where I studied on coding theory and algebraic geometry under the supervision of Prof Dr. Mesut Şahin.

Also, I used to work as a researcher with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Oğuz Yayla in a project supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) from July 2018 to April 2020. Also in that period, I did research about the number of irreducible polynomials, the sequences and their measures.

In December 2022, I had the opportunity to work with the researcher fellow Dr. Jade Nardi who invited me to the University of Rennes 1, where I was a visiting researcher.
