Who am I?

I hold dual bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science Education and Computer Engineering from Gazi University, and I earned my master’s and doctoral degrees in Computer Education and Instructional Technology from Hacettepe University.

From 1998 to 2017, I served at the Administrative Organization of the Presidency of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM), where I gained extensive experience in administration and organizational dynamics. Since 2017, I have been a faculty member in the Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology at the Faculty of Education, Manisa Celal Bayar University.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) in Austria, a position I have held since 2022. My research interests revolve around the integration of technology into learning and teaching processes, computer science education, interdisciplinary education (STEM), online learning, and teacher education and professional development. I actively contribute to both national and international educational projects as a leader and researcher, and my work is supported by a range of scientific publications.

As one of the co-founders of the Interdisciplinary Teacher Academy research group, I collaborate with esteemed colleagues at Hacettepe University ONTOLAB and the JKU Linz STEAM Education research groups. These collaborations allow me to contribute to cutting-edge research and foster innovation in education.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I take immense pride in being the mother of three wonderful daughters, who inspire me every day.
