Exploring the energetic universe through high-energy astrophysics

About

I am a professor at Sabanci University's Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, where I lead research in high-energy astrophysics. My work focuses on some of the most energetic and dynamic phenomena in the universe, particularly magnetars and gamma-ray bursts.

Our research group investigates extreme physical conditions through the study of neutron stars, black holes, and other compact objects that serve as natural laboratories for understanding fundamental physics.
