School between 1998 and 2006. I began my secondary education at Etimesgut Anatolian High School in 2006 and continued at
Bahçelievler Anatolian High School from 2007 to 2010, where I graduated.
In 2010, I was admitted to the Department of Automotive Engineering at Çukurova University. During the 2013–2014 academic year, I
participated in the Erasmus Student Exchange Program and studied for one year at the Technical University of Liberec in Liberec, Czechia.
After completing my undergraduate degree in 2015, I commenced my master's studies in the same department. Upon graduation in
2015, I began working at SANKO Construction Equipment. In 2016, after being appointed as a Research Assistant in the Department of
Automotive Engineering at Çukurova University, I resigned from my position at SANKO. I completed my master's degree in 2018 and
began my doctoral studies the same year. I successfully completed my Ph.D. in 2023.
Currently, I am working as a Doctor Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Division of Thermodynamics, at Amasya
University. For a list of my national and international publications, please refer to my Google Scholar profile.
