Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye
I am a dedicated scholar and lecturer in International Relations, committed to bridging theory and practice through rigorous research and innovative teaching. My work focuses on quantifying the influence of cultural factors and national values on strategic decision-making, offering fresh insights into the Realist School by integrating the human element into its framework. By leveraging advanced quantitative methods, I explore how identity, ethnicity, and cultural dynamics shape national and military strategies. With my experience in both research and academia, I strive to foster a vibrant learning community and contribute meaningfully to the evolution of International Relations as a discipline. I welcome opportunities for collaboration and dialogue that push the boundaries of traditional IR theory, ultimately aiming to empower the next generation of scholars and practitioners.
