The University of Arizona
Physics PhD                                                 2004 - 2010

I have received the PhD Degree at the University of Arizona. During my PhD studies, my research interests included High Energy Particle Physics focusing on Dark Matter phenomenology and possible justification of the very existence of Dark Matter through neutrino signals to be detected on the Earth-based neutrino telescopes.

The Middle East Technical University
Physics, MS                                     2002 - 2004

Following my BS degree that I received at the Middle East Technical University (METU), I continued my Master's at the same university. My research study focused on the understanding and comparison of the data analysis techniques to be used to determine the power-law index for pulsar frequency derivative fluctuations which possess significant red noise characteristics.

The Middle East Technical University
Physics, BS                                           1998 - 2002

Based on the scores at the University Entrance Exam, I was accepted to be enrolled in the Advanced Physics Program (APP) at the Middle East Technical University, starting in 1998. I took various MS and PhD level classes during my BS studies. In 2002, I received the BS degree as the VALEDICTORIAN of the Class.
