About Me
I am currently pursuing my PhD in Astronomy and Space Sciences at Erciyes University while working as a Research Assistant in the Department of Astronomy and Space Science. I received my M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees in Astronomy and Space Sciences from İstanbul University. In 2024, I was a Visiting Researcher at the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research (Cambridge, MA, USA).
Research Interests
- High Energy (X-ray) Astrophysics — data analysis of RXTE, NuSTAR, XMM-Newton, Chandra and XRISM observations; X-ray timing, spectral analysis and imaging techniques
- Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) and Accreting Millisecond X-ray Pulsars (AMXPs / Intermittent-AMXPs) — timing, spectral analysis, X-ray monitoring
- Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) — AGN modeling for X-ray spectra
- Optical Observations — variable star observations, timing, O-C analysis, exoplanet transit observation
