🚨Delayed life update: I’m excited to share that I’ve started my PhD in Economics at the University of California, Santa Cruz!

I’m deeply grateful to my master's thesis advisor and mentor, Ayşegül Kayaoğlu. This path wouldn’t exist without her endless support and guidance.

I would also like to thank my project coordinators and mentors, Umut Kuruüzüm (@umutkuruuzum), Aysun Hızıroğlu Aygün (@aysunhiziroglu), Osman Doğan, and Serife Genc Ileri (@serifegenc), for their trust in me. I feel extremely lucky to collaborate with them.

I also want to acknowledge all the faculty members and research assistants whom I had the opportunity to work with, as well as the wonderful students I had the pleasure of teaching in the Department of Economics at Istanbul Technical University (@ituecon).

It feels exciting to contribute to applied microeconomics and econometrics in such a welcoming department! 🎉#econtwitter

Today, we hosted Jeffrey H. D. Blair, Director for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa at the 'Greater Houston Partnership,' an initiative of the Houston Chamber of Commerce, and Sinem Mehterian, Senior Vice President of the investment bank 'Amegy Bank,' at ITU 1773 Technopark in Maslak. We discussed potential collaborations. Jeffrey emphasized that the city of Houston is investor-friendly, offers many incentives, and is easily accessible to the world with its two airports and port. He mentioned that nearly 25 Turkish companies are operating in Houston, establishing factories, and that Turkish Airlines has direct flights from Turkey to Houston. The meeting was attended by Prof. Dr. Güloğlu, General Manager of ITU 1773 Technopark, Nedim Burak Sondal, partner of Ölçsan Company, and Onur Alptur from Peptisyl Biotechnology Company.
