After graduating from Ankara Anatolian High School, I completed my undergraduate education in Landscape Architecture, my master's degrees in Landscape Planning and Environmental Management, and my PhD in Environmental Economics. I worked at Ankara University, University of Massachusetts (World Bank Scholarship), TUBITAK, American Geomatics Group, Geotech Company and finally at Anadolu University, Department of Architecture and Institute of Earth and Space Sciences. In addition to the Directorate of the Institute of Earth and Space Sciences, I served as the Head of the Departments of Architecture, Basic Design Education and Fashion Design, and I was the Head of Remote Sensing and GIS. I served as Vice Rector and Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Design at Eskişehir Technical University. I am currently serving as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Design and Planning Accreditation Association.

I have worked in many national-international projects, contributed to the establishment of various academic programmes and training programmes, and collaborated with many national and international organisations for this purpose, in order to use and disseminate technologies such as remote sensing, terrestrial photogrammetry, aerial photogrammetry, etc., especially geographic information systems, in order to investigate human settlements that are not threatening the environment and where the environment is not threatened by disasters.

In summary, I am a world and homeland lover who is trying to contribute to the upbringing of generations who respect the earth - the world - and to the projects that will illuminate the path of these generations. I have lit many lights so far, and I am trying to do everything I can to see them illuminate our country first and then the world. If you think you can contribute to the illumination of our world by these lights, you can contact me.
