I come from Izmir, Turkey which is also a southern city. So I came prepared for the heat here. I completed my bachelor and master degrees at Bogazici University in Istanbul, which was the first American college founded out of USA almost 150 years ago. After working in subjects such as vibration based identification, finite element modeling and seismic hazard, now I became a part of the Structural Health Monitoring/ Nondestructive Testing Laboratory here under the supervision of Dr. Salamone. Besides loving what I study, I love the green and outdoor sports activities in Austin. I also like swimming, sailing, piano, tennis, latin dances, books, movies and traveling.
