I am a data scientist and a political psychologist. Psychometrics, psycholinguistics, modeling subjectivity, and comparative politics are among my research interests.

I served as the Turkish Language Group Leader in the European Commission Joint Research Centre’s ValuesML - Unravelling Expressed Values in the Media for Informed Policy Making project between 12/2023 - 05/2024. I was an affiliated postdoc fellow at Bremen International School of Social Sciences, Constructor University until 06/2024. Before this, I worked a postdoc fellow at the Psychology & Methods department in a project funded by Business Finland and Hofstede Insights. At the University of Oldenburg, I worked as the interim academic coordinator of European Master in Migration & Intercultural Relations, also as a lecturer at the Institute of Social Sciences.

Before academic life, I was a sales manager at a multi-national outdoor advertising company in Istanbul. During my undergrad studies, I worked as a music journalist.
