Biography
I was born in Trabzon, Turkey 1997, and excelled academically, graduating as valedictorian from Yıldız Technical University's Department of Architecture in 2020. Following this success, I pursued my master's degree in Building Survey and Restoration, which I completed in 2023 at the same university. I'm undertaking a Ph.D. at the institution, continuing my role as a research assistant. My research primarily focuses on integrating interactive and digital architectural elements into conservation areas to advance heritage interpretation and understanding. Alongside my academic pursuits, I contribute to various courses, particularly in architectural design studio and preservation and restoration.
