Researching Minds, Designing Better Questions

I am a researcher with an interdisciplinary background in molecular biology, cognitive neuroscience, and psychology.
My academic research focuses on visual perception and subjective experience, particularly how the brain resolves ambiguous sensory information. I use behavioral experiments, psychophysics, neuroimaging, and quantitative data analysis to study these questions.
Beyond academic research, I work on projects involving AI evaluation, user research, data analysis, and science communication.
My Journey and Achievements
I started my journey as a passionate researcher. I have grown into an independent scientist, freelancer, and publisher, contributing to publications and innovative research projects.
As a doctor of natural science, I am a freelancer working as an AI quality reviewer. I help clients to improve their web applications and understand what the data tells them to enhance their business. I continue contributing to the publication of a popular magazine, which became a family business over time.
Next fall in 2020, I joined the visual neuroscience lab and started my doctoral dissertation. I studied the variety of visual perception under ambiguous stimulation. My study took almost 6 years, with a lovely interruption for having a baby, and turned into three papers all published in Q1 journals.
The day after I submitted my master’s thesis, I applied for a Swiss visa to join the psychophysics lab, where I learnt to deal with EEG data. Towards the end of my stay, corona pandemics hit, and I had to stay two more months under lockdown, which was a challenging but interesting adventure.
In 2016, I decided to continue my academic career and enrolled in master’s studies in neuroscience. It was challenging to learn coding, advanced statistics, and the basics of vision science with an ongoing neuroimaging project using fMRI.
Before finishing my bachelor’s, I met with Düşünbil Publishing and contributed as an editor. I took a one-year break after my graduation to build a digital ecosystem and event management in the company.
I studied molecular biology and genetics and graduated in 2015. I have a theoretical understanding of molecular biology and wet-lab experience thanks to my bachelor’s degree. Towards the end of my bachelor’s studies, I joined NeuroLab, where my career in cognitive neuroscience was rooted. My small project as an additional step in a doctoral study with fNIRS turned into my first co-authorship.
