I am a physician and public health specialist. I completed my primary and secondary education in the Kula district of Manisa in the 1980s, and my undergraduate and specialization studies at Gazi University Faculty of Medicine during the 1990s and 2000s. I currently work as a faculty member at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Faculty of Medicine. Within the field of public health, my research focus areas include environmental health, geriatric health, and the history of health policies; additionally, I work on medical education at the Faculty of Medicine. For about 10 years, I have been reading extensively on the history of science and philosophy. I share my work in writing on a blog named "Düşünce Odası" (The Room of Thought) and organize seminar/discussion programs on the history of thought with various groups.

Hekim ve halk sağlığı uzmanıyım. İlk ve orta öğretimimi Manisa’nı Kula ilçesinde 1980’li yıllarda, lisans ve uzmanlık eğitimimi ise Gazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi’nde 1990’lı ve 2000’li yıllarda tamamladım. Halen Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi’nde eğitimci olarak görev yapmaktayım. Halk sağlığı ile ilgili olarak çevre sağlığı, yaşlı sağlığı, sağlık politikaları tarihi, Tıp Fakültesi’nde ise tıp eğitimi üzerinde çalıştığım konular arasındadır. Yaklaşık 10 yıldır, bilim ve felsefe tarihi ile ilgili okumalar yapıyorum. Çalışmalarımı “Düşünce Odası” isimli bir blogda yazılı olarak paylaşıyor ve farklı gruplarla düşünce tarihi ile ilgili konularda söyleşi programları yürütüyorum.
