First of all, I have been working as a researcher or project manager in almost 20 projects which are related to the systematics, ecology and vegetation of bryophytes in Turkey, since 1993. In addition, we also used biomonitoring mosses and lichens for the determination of atmospheric heavy metal pollutants and making pollution maps especially in heavy industrial areas in Marmara region and Western Black Sea region of Turkey. Finally we are working on biological filter systems to remove dyestuffs and oils from waste water and also work together with pharmacists and microbiologists in order to find out antimicrobial, antifungal and antimutagenic substances in some widespread bryophytes.
