I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University. I am an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at Fordham University starting in Fall 2026. In 2025–2026, I will be a Max Weber Postdoctoral Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence.  


Currently, I am a 2024-25 Spotlight Scholar for the American Political Science Association Interpretive Methodologies and Methods Related Group and a Graduate Fellow for the Chloe Center for the Critical Study of Racism, Immigration, and Colonialism at Johns Hopkins University.


My research interests include critical security studies and counterinsurgency, urban politics, and critical methodologies. I use ethnographic methods to explore spatialities of everyday warfare with a focus on the Kurdish politics. Previously, I received my BA and MA degrees in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Bogazici University, Turkey. In addition, I was a Visiting Researcher as a part of the International Fox Fellowship at Yale University for 2018-2019.
