I was born in 1970 in Ankara. I studied at Akdere Primary School and Akdere Secondary School in Ankara. I graduated from Yenimahalle Industrial Vocational High School. I completed my undergraduate, master and doctorate studies at Middle East Technical University, Department of Mining Engineering. I have been at The Tokyo University in Japan as a research student, private researcher and guest researcher respectively, totally for three years and a half. During this time I was interested in Zen and Kyudo. After returning to Turkey, I have been worked as Assistant Professor at İnönü University for about eight years. In order to obtain industrial experience, I moved to the private sector. I have been working in Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çan Vocational High School, Department of Mining and Mine Extraction Department, since May 2016. I am married; and I have a child.
