Short Bio:

Graduated from Ondokuz Mayis University in 2004 with B.Sc. degree in Chemistry. Started to conduct my M.Sc. studies in the following year at the same university. After I was awarded a scholarship by the Turkish Ministry of Education, I started my graduate studies in the department of chemistry at the University of Massachusetts (UMASS), Amherst, USA. Completed my MS and PhD studies between 2008 and 2014 in the field of photodissociation spectroscopy in Physical Chemistry at UMASS. Published several articles about transition metal ion small ligand non covalent interactions. Upon completion of my PhD, I returned to Gebze Technical University. Doing my research at the computational chemistry laboratory in the Chemistry Department. Throughout my studies, I mostly conducted Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics simulations and Quantum Mechanical calculations for the host-guest non covalently interacting systems. Authored several publications for the past 10 years in the field. One of my last studies is a TUBITAK Project in which we applied machine learning potentials to the host-guest systems to accurately and rapidly calculation of free energy changes.
