I was born in Istanbul in 1971. I graduated from the Department of Mathematics, Middle East Technical University (METU) and took my BS degree in 1995.
I received my MSc degree in Mathematics in 1998, with a thesis entitled "Hypervirial Analysis of Enclosed Quantum Mechanical Systems", and my PhD degree in Mathematics, with a thesis entitled "Boundary Value Problems for Higher Order Linear Impulsive Differential Equations", in 2003.
Presently, I am a member of the faculty at the Institute of Applied Mathematics, Middle East Technical University.
