I am a Ph.D. student at Texas A&M University and my advisor is Frank Sottile. I received my B.S and M.S degrees in Mathematics from Bilkent University, where I was working under the supervision of Mufit Sezer. My research interests include Algebraic Combinatorics, Real and Computational Algebraic Geometry.

I expect to graduate at the end of Spring 2018 semester and I am currently on the job market. Here is my:
