About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get my career back on track!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the old old lands of Western Anatolia. Until six I was in the hands of my grandma in a small town called Tire. I've started school in Izmir and until 2008 I've lived there. After that I moved to the rainy green & red city of Hamburg in northern Germany to educate myself even more as if all the stuff before that was not enough. I am now back in my home country for PhD. Unfortunately this time in Istanbul.

Lots of people (including my Mom) think that I'm extremely lazy, some think that I'm hard-working and some think that I'm really smart. I agree to the first :) For the latter two I would say I'm just like everyone else.

PHILOSOPHY

global myself golden
myself = 'I am not quite sure about anything. I am a true skeptic. For I give my decisions very spontaneously, I have to bear the inconsistencies in my life."
golden = 'I think we all should relax for a moment, think about the fact that almost noone will truly appreciate what we've done in our lifetime 100 years from now on. Yet we have to find the joy in our activities and do them eventually only for ourselves, so that we do a steady good job all the time and be happy.'

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Leon, EuroTrip, Pianist, Gegen die Wand, Im Juli, Requiem for a Dream
Music: well, whatever sounds good to my ear. From oriental melodies of Anatolia and Middle-East to Progressive Trance.
Books: I like easy-to-read adventure books -I've read 15+ Clive Cussler books. I like books with historical theme -such as Amin Maalouf's works. Lately I have been reading some popular philosopy -like Alain de Botton and Julian Baggini.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Husky sledging.
Ice bathing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I can not teach you anything I guess -I can only discuss about topics more of less familiar to me like Biotech (my educational background) or stuff related to my home country and city (Turkey - political, sociological, cultural, touristic etc.) :)
Well, let us have a beer or two together and I will an opinion about EVERYTHING. :)
