A SCIENTIFIC JOURNEY FROM IZMIR TO “MIT”

Our paths crossed with Izmir University of Economics in 2012 when I started my education life in Software Engineering with a full scholarship. Thanks to the quality education I received from the valuable academics and the two foreign languages ​​​​provided by the University, I had the chance to equip myself at the best possible way. In addition to two compulsory internships, I also performed one voluntary internship. In my last compulsory internship, I was accepted by the Vestel R&D Center and had a productive internship experience of 1 month in the Testing department. In 2016, I was selected to Havelsan's Cyber ​​Security Summer School Program and successfully completed the program.

I started my studies at Izmir University of Economics, Department of Economics in 2005. In 2005-2006, I worked as a bass guitarist in Grup Turuncu, the official music band of the University.

When I started my education at Department of International Trade and Finance, which was my first choice, in 2005 I understood a new life was ahead of me. After spending a year abroad, I thought everything would be different, and everything turned out the way I wanted.

After I graduated from the Department of Psychology, Izmir University of Economics, which is dear to me, I was accepted to Dokuz Eylül University Clinical Neuroscience Master's program due to my interest in brain and its working principles. My acceptance process of course was not easy like every other success story, as someone who graduated from the Turkish-Mathematics department in a bad high school education, it was beyond my dream to enter a department that accepted students with quantitative score type.
