Hakkımda
After completing my PhD in Social Psychology at Middle East Technical University, I worked part-time and full-time at various universities. I am currently working as an Associate Professor at YaÅŸar University, Department of Psychology.
​
I am the principle investigator of two ongoing research projects, funded by TÜBÄ°TAK, both of which are related to conspiracy, paranormal and pseudoscience beliefs.
​
I have been an Associate Editor at European Journal of Social Psychology since 2021.
​
Apart from my personal work, I also continue my collaborative work with MINT Lab members.
