About Me

I am an Engineer who loves to travel the world and meet with different cultures. I have taken decisions in my life in a way to achieve these goals.

I have been living in Germany for 4 years. I moved to Germany for my master studies in communication engineering. I moved to Aachen for my studies, it is a small and very international city with people from all around the world. Then I moved to Munich for my new job in Airbus I still do not know German and I do not need german thank to its internationality.

I always try to go out of my comfort zone in order to get different experiences and learn new cultures. That`s why, I have always been involved in different NGOs, volunteering, and youth exchange projects besides the my studies and work. I am believing that we should contribute as individuals of society by working on social manners. Thanks to these experiences, I have met and worked with people from all around the world. Besides that I got a chance to work on improvement of higher education by designing workshops, research and writing research papers.

I had different involvement throughout my studies. I used to be interested in sports during my studies. It was more than a hobby for me. I was a dancesporter and I was competing in national competitions. It was a big part of my life since I was practicing/training 5 days in a week and 3 hours a day. Besides dancesport, I was into Fitness with all aspects such as training, diet, and daily routine. It was more than a hobby for me. I was researching a lot about these topics by reading the research papers. Even I used to determine the different aspects of my life according to that.

I have mainly worked as a researcher in my professional experiences in different institutes/companies. This is something that I am proud of. Thanks to these experiences I have experienced the cycle of innovation and contributed to the current research projects with a patent and publications in national conferences.
