My natural Bio

As a scientist, I am aware that I have undertaken a characteristic role that is deeply affected by the complex harmony (Dance) in the universe and tries to understand it through Self-consciousness, philosophy of science and lens of mathematics, the universal language. While continuing my student life on the one hand, I am also experiencing the pleasure of conveying what I have learned to the people around me with great pleasure. I am aware that my ability to not only describe natural events but also to formulate mathematical models that provide predictive power and explanatory depth to solve real-life problems is a gift from the creator. In my professional academic journey, I have learned how developing, enjoyable, colorful and productive interdisciplinary dialogue, collaboration and collective understanding are. Thank goodness everything is as it is.
