I am a postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University, working at the intersection of amphibian ecology, thermoregulation, and conservation biology. I combine fieldwork and laboratory experiments with tools like microCT, MRI, and ecological modeling. My current focus is on the regenerative capacity of axolotls under different thermal conditions.

I study how temperature shapes regeneration, physiology, and ecological adaptability in amphibians, especially salamanders. My research focuses on temperature-dependent tissue regeneration (limb, heart, spinal cord), integrating ecological niche modeling, thermal biology, and high-resolution imaging. I aim to understand how environmental change influences regenerative biology, with both basic and applied perspectives.

I have taught courses in biology, parasitology, ecology, herpetology, biodiversity, and climate change, both in theory and practice. I value interdisciplinary teaching that encourages ecological thinking and evidence-based understanding of biological systems.

I collaborate with researchers and institutions across Europe. I have participated in joint fieldwork and publications with teams from Turkey, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Denmark. These collaborations span phylogeography, conservation genetics, and venom proteomics, helping me build a broad and dynamic scientific network.

I was commissioned as a scientific consultant for the TRT (Turkish Radio Television) nature documentary “Anatolian Viper”, where I provided expertise on reptile ecology, behavior, and conservation. I have also conducted thermal physiology studies in my PhD and academic discussions inspired by my scientific publications, including such as Nature Communications article and a PLOS ONE research paper, both of which received broad attention for highlighting amphibian conservation and biodiversity issues. I have been invited to specialized academic events as an invited speaker in Salamander Meeting 2022 in Istanbul, which reflect the recognition of my work in amphibian science.

At Aarhus University, I design and conduct experiments on thermal preference and tissue regeneration in axolotls, focusing on the physiological and ecological aspects of regeneration. My work involves thermal gradient assays, physiological measurements, and data analysis. In addition to my main project, I actively contribute to collaborative research within the department, including studies involving microCT imaging, comparative anatomy, and regenerative model development. I also support imaging-based investigations on other amphibian species and participate in interdisciplinary discussions that connect experimental biology with ecological and translational relevance. My overall aim is to build a strong bridge between laboratory-based regeneration research and ecological contexts.
