Verify specialization ↗About
A quantitative background.
A habit of building.
My work connects engineering, economics, and empirical research, with a particular interest in how people and organizations interpret signals.
Background
From mathematics to empirical questions.
I grew up in İzmir doing competitive mathematics. That developed into a two-year tilings research project and an international science competition.
I later studied industrial engineering and economics at Sabancı University, with minors in business analytics, entrepreneurship, and decision & behavior. Management & Technology at TUM and the QTEM network brought those interests closer to finance and computing.
Research at KU Leuven, industry experience, and my thesis have kept the same question in view: what can we learn from a signal, and how do we check that interpretation?
