I have recently completed my Ph.D. in Marine and Freshwater Resources Management at Istanbul University, focusing on eDNA metabarcoding, and bioinformatics. My research expertise encompasses aquatic biodiversity assessment, conservation genetics, and the application of bioinformatics tools for processing large eDNA datasets. My recent projects include a Rufford Foundation-funded initiative to implement DNA-based biomonitoring in the Golden Horn Estuary, and I have been actively involved in field sampling expeditions across the Sea of Marmara. My key skills include Python-based bioinformatics tools, such as APSCALE and Taxon Table Tools, alongside advanced wet-lab techniques.

I am seeking to join a project where I can contribute my expertise in eDNA metabarcoding, biodiversity monitoring, and bioinformatics to address key environmental issues. I aim to be part of a team where I can apply my skills in both fieldwork and data analysis, contributing to impactful conservation strategies and environmental management initiatives.
