My name is Emek Usenmez. I was born in 1981 in Aksaray, Turkey. Aksaray is one of the small cities of central Anatolia. My father is a truck driver and my mother is a housewife. I have seven siblings. My mother is a local carpet weaver.
As the middle member of a family of 7 children, you can easily imagine that I grew up in difficult conditions. I completed my primary, secondary and high school education in Aksaray.
I completed my undergraduate education at Konya Selcuk University, Department of Turkish Language and Literature in 2004. I graduated from Konya Selcuk University with the top of the department and an honorary degree. In 2004, I started working as a research assistant at Kütahya Dumlupinar University. I graduated from Kütahya Dumlupinar University, in master’s degree, Department of Turkish Language and Literature in 2006. In 2006, I was appointed to Istanbul University to study for a PhD. In 2010, I successfully qualified for my PhD degree at Istanbul University Institute of Social Sciences, Department of Turkish Language. I have been currently working as an associate professor (teaching fellow) at the University of Istanbul Rectorate’s Language Institute.
I made field-related investigations and researches in Kyrgyzstan in 2007 and in Turkmenistan between 2010-2011. I had become interested in Central Asian studies. For this purpose, I was invited to Uzbekistan in 2008. In 2008, 2009 and 2011, I conducted studies and researches as a visiting lecturer at the Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences, Ali Sher Navai Institute of Language and Literature, Department of Uzbek Language and Literature. During this period, I worked on Chagatai manuscripts in the library of manuscripts under the Ebu Reyhan Biruni Institute of Oriental Studies of Uzbekistan Academy of Sciences.
2013 Eskişehir Turkic World Capital of Culture While I was the Turkic World consultant, I realized projects with countries such as Tatarstan, Crimea, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. In this context, I published the first color facsimiles of Kutadgu Bilig copies. I prepared 3 volumes of Terjuman newspaper published by Gaspirali İsmail Bey in Bakhchesaray in Crimea, as transliteration and facsimile. In 2014, I prepared the catalogue of Turkic manuscripts of the Turkmenistan Academy of Sciences for publication. Our work on Iran within the scope of the Khorasan-Iran Turkish place names project has been continuing since 2014. In 2014, I worked on Turkic manuscripts in the British Library in England.

I worked as a visiting professor at Harvard University in 2015-2016 and at the University of Cambridge in 2017-2018. As part of IRCICA Library Farabi OCR (Ottoman Turkish machine text reading), I continue to be a consultant in the machine learning project of Ottoman texts in cooperation with ITU and Boğaziçi Universities.
Within the scope of the translation of the First Quran in Turkish, the United States, University of Michigan Department of Near Eastern Studies (Dr. Gottfried Hagen), Germany Freie Universität Berlin Institut für Turkologie (Prof. Dr. Claus Schönig), Russia Petersburg Saint-Petersburg State I received an official invitation letter from the University Department of Turkic Philology of Oriental Faculty (Prof. Dr. Viktor Grigorievich Guzev) and Hungary Budapest Loránd Eötvös University, Institute of Oriental Studies, Department of Turkology (Prof. Dr. Géza Dávid).
I have more been interesting The Middle Turkic (Karakhanid and Kharezm), Chagatai Turkic, The Old Anatolian Turkish (as part of Western-Oghuz Turkic), Ottoman Turkish and contemporary Turkish dialects such as Uzbek-Turkmen-Crimean Tatar and in teaching Turkish as a foreign language for foreigners. In addition to these I am curious about Turkish manuscripts and cataloguing especially Ottoman and Chagatai manuscripts all around the World.

I am currently working on the comparison of the Turkish words in the first Quranic translations in Turkish with Arabic and Persian. I have just published a commentary on the Yaqub al-Cxarhiy commentary written in Chagatay, in the 15th century in Mavaraunnahr.
