Welcome to my page! 

I am working as a Professor in the Department of Economics at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University. 

I received my Ph.D. in 2014 from Afyon Kocatepe University Economics. For the fall semester of 2016-2017, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the J. Whitney Bunting College of Business at Georgia College & State University, USA. For the Fall semester of 2022-2023, I worked as a Visiting Associate Professor of Economics at Harley Langdale Jr. College of Business Administration at Valdosta State University, USA. 

My research interests are development economics and applied macroeconomics. More specifically, I have studied topics including energy and environmental economics, the development of financial markets, and the macro-level demand models. 

I also serve as the Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Research in Economics, Politics, and Finance.

I am a passionate fan and a proud member of the Fenerbahçe SK Congress.
