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 Yaşar University, Department of Psychology.

I am the principle investigator of two ongoing research projects, funded by TÜBİTAK, 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.
