Rocket Scientist, Artist, Writer, Philosopher, Photographer, Tennis Player, Music lover,
I’m a senior student at İstanbul Technical University. My
graduation thesis is about a Mars mission. Electric propulsion,
orbital calculations, space law and neuroscience are my topics
of
study. Following my specialisation are project management and
mentorship.
I’m the Honorary President of the Turkish Classical Music
Club and also I’m the mentor within
the Astronautical Engineering Department at ITU and a member
of the Student Council for
my mentorship.
I am also involved with my university newspaper and
part of the writing staff for Popular Science Magazine in
Turkey. Then I’ll write for Hürriyet Eğitim newspaper. After having
spent some years at ITU, I managed the two Cansat Projects
2010. We participated 2010 CanSat Leem competition in Madrid
and Texas Annual
Cansat Competition in the USA. I am interested in leadership,
software, electronics and budget
planning. In my internship,CubeSat Lunar Landing Project
investigation was my topic.
I’m the Turkish delegate of 2012 International Astronautical
Federation (IAF)
International Programme/Project Management Committee (IPMC) Young
Professional Programme. Programme aim is:
Recognizing the value of promoting individual, team, and
organizational excellence in programme/project management, systems
engineering and engineering disciplines and appreciating the value of
sharing experiences, best practices and new techniques with space
project/programme management practitioners in space agencies,
companies, universities and professional societies throughout the
World.
Also, I have my own building enterprise firm. In the future,
I plan to do a master’s program in Europe or in the USA.
Besides, Art and sport is a part of my life. I’m artist, actually i
draw pencil drawing and I play tennis. Sport and art is as
important as science and technology.
