Further enhanced my expertise with a PostDoc in Entrepreneurship in Agricultural Research at EIT-Food, Belgium.

More recently, I have been working as a Science Manager at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, with a focus on Digital Agriculture/ Vertical Farming.
Throughout my career, I have received over 10 research awards, including Marie Curie, Erasmus, DAAD, BMBF, TUBITAK (x2), EIT-Food, and Food for Thought. I have published over 30 research items, including articles, conference papers, and posters. I have also hosted and produced over 10 agricultural programs on thematic TV channels across Turkey. Currently, I serve as a broadcast consultant for CNBC-e, focusing on agricultural content. With over 15K followers on social media, I regularly publish blogs on agricultural trends.
I welcome collaborative projects & partnerships!
