R&D projects, project management, Research, Carbon utilization, Carbon capture, 30 years of R&D experience
I graduated with a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Hacettepe University, Türkiye, and completed a postdoctoral study at the University of Delaware, USA.
I worked as a research/teaching assistant at Hacettepe University for six years. After that, I served as a senior researcher at TÜBİTAK- for 25 years. Currently I am serving as R&D Projects Manager at Koruma Klor Alkali A.S.
I have expertise in chemical process engineering (design, control, etc.), polymer technology (suspension, emulsion, and dispersion polymerization, as well as reactive polymers), enzyme engineering (enzyme reactors and reaction systems, enzyme immobilization, enzyme fuel cells), and carbon capture and utilization (carbon capture systems, carbon conversion catalysts, and catalytic reactors/processes). I have contributed to more than 30 applied science R&D projects and have authored numerous publications, including 20 articles in SCI/SCI-E indexed journals.
My organisation
Koruma Klor Alkali San. ve Tic. A.Ş. (Koruma) established and reorganized in 1994 as agrochemicals and chemicals producer, has been a pioneer in Turkish chemical industry, driven by its commitment to innovation and sustainable growth. Between 2000 – 2006 chlor-alkali facility has been converted to modern membrane technology. In 2015, Koruma founded its R&D Center, which focuses on developing innovative chemicals not produced in Turkiye. The R&D center has successfully completed many projects that reflect Koruma's innovation-driven approach, supporting local production while enhancing global competitiveness. With a strong emphasis on sustainability and green investments, Koruma R&D center continues to contribute to the advancement of the chemical industry and creates added value by local and international projects.
