I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Philosophy at Princeton University, working as part of the PRÉCIS project.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University Spring 2024. I did my M.A. in Philosophy and B.A. in Translation and Interpreting Studies at Boğaziçi University in İstanbul, Turkey. I am originally from Havza, Samsun, a little town in northern Turkey with excellent hot springs. I am type-1 diabetic (since 2002).

My research brings together philosophy in the Islamic world and contemporary philosophy. My work draws both from history of philosophy in 8-13th century Islamic world and from contemporary philosophy of language, epistemology and metaphysics. I develop ideas in the great Islamic era with contemporary philosophical rigor. I also work on the nature of modality, attitudes and misleading communication. Here is my CV, research output, talks and teaching materials.
