I try to update the page as often as possible but some old material may exist, be aware!

important links !

I am currently a visiting professor at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Sabanci University. Previously, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Space Sciences Laboratory at Berkeley. I got my PhD at UCSD where I was working as a research assistant at the Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences. You may obtain a copy of my dissertation from my publications list.

     MARIE CURIE INTERNATIONAL REINTEGRATION GRANT   

I have been awarded with the European Comission's Marie Curie International Reintegration Grant (FP6) to work mainly on INTEGRAL data analysis at Sabanci University. The Grant is titled Data Mining with the INTEGRAL Observatory, or INDAM. Please click here  to obtain more information, publications and talks under the program.

I have been one of the recipients of the Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA) Young Scientist Award (GEBIP) for the year 2007.  The TUBA-GEBIP Programme was started in February 2001 with the objective to provide support to young scientists (under 37 years of age) of outstanding performance in a critical phase in their career as independent investigators. The GEBIP project will support high energy astrophysics instrumentation efforts in Turkey.

 
I have been mainly working on the data from the SPI detector on the INTEGRAL observatory to enhance its capabilities. I investigate the possibility of polarization studies with this instrument. I also work on RXTE observations of Galactic black hole binary systems to understand the state transitions. I had worked on developing and modeling of CdZnTe X-ray detectors for two years in graduate school. More information on my research can be found in the links below. 

At Sabanci, I taught Statistical Physics, Inside the Milky Way, and Beyond the Milky Way classes.

I am also involved with public outreach efforts for astronomy, high energy astrophysics and astrophysical instrumentation. These include talks given at Bilkent University Nanotechnology Center, Middle East Technical University, Sabanci University, TUBITAK Science Fair, Yuzyil Isık High School, and articles published (and to be published) at popular scientific magazines, Bilim ve Teknik and Bilim ve Utopya. Some of the talks and articles can be retrieved from my publications list.
