I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the
Izmir Institute of Technology, Turkey. As a neuroscientist with a focus
on sleep and circadian biology, my research explores how biological,
environmental, and social factors influence biological rhythms across
the lifespan—from development to aging. I am particularly interested in
understanding the impact of light exposure in real-world environments,
aiming to uncover its role in shaping our circadian health and
well-being.
