I am an artist and researcher.
My work revolves around critical examinations of everyday life and the interconnections among humans, nonhuman entities, and our natural and political environments. I contemplate various subjects, considering both the inclusions and exclusions implicit in these connections.
Recently, I have been looking at the structures of daily scientific activities their spatial arrangements encompassing materials, behaviors, scientific results and thoughts from a perspective willing to withstand the existing narratives.
My scientific research spans the fundamental behaviors of energy devices such as solar cells. Moreover, I independently investigate and collaborate on the political and social ramifications of material implications and energy technologies.
I primarily use photography, video, and writing in my practice. Additionally, I am involved in self-publishing, and creating zines either independently or collaboratively, all while pursuing my academic research.
I hold a bachelor's double major in engineering and visual arts from Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul. Subsequently, I pursued my master’s degree at Bogazici University, Istanbul, and obtained my Ph.D. in natural sciences from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research. Since then, I have continued my postdoctoral research and artistic work.
