Short bio
I got my bachelor's and master's degrees in Turkey from Physics and Photonics departments. I have learned to combine my physics background with bioengineering to work on biophotonics. My master thesis was about quantitative phase analysis of cells through lensless holography which brings me closer to experimental and computational studies. To learn more about data analysis, I applied & became a PhD candidate in the Compsci program.
Research interests and hobbies
I am impressed with the small-scale world to understand how mechanisms can be quantified with microscopy modalities. Also, I have an increasing interest in personalized medicine applications.
In my free time, I like to do cross-country sports and watch anime.
CompSci project
Mesenchymal stem cell differentiation and mineralization in biomimetic hydrogels: microfluidics and modelling
Within biomimetic materials, I will try to understand migration, differentiation and biomineralization process of mesenchymal stem cells. The Calcium Phosphate transformation kinetics and spatial distribution will be extracted by reaction-diffusion modeling. Based on the numerical simulation results, in vitro time-lapse cell imaging will be used with microfluidics to cast light on the bone remodeling process.
