About Me

I am currently a visiting researcher at the Institute of Anthropology, Albanian Academy of Sciences, focusing on the post-communist historical soundscapes of Albania. I have also worked as an assistant professor at Trabzon University, Musicology Department until January 2025. I have taught mostly ethnomusicology courses at undergraduate and graduate levels as well as basic courses about research methods and techniques in music. I supervised three Master’s theses on various topics such as performance studies, sound studies, and the music of Turkey. As a professional ethnomusicologist, I have teaching and research experience in various music/sound research methods as well as teaching piano and conducting choir. Over the past five years at Trabzon University, I have taught courses covering the musical cultures of the world and social theories of music/sound.
I have a Ph.D. from the Center for Advanced Studies in Music (MIAM) at Istanbul Technical University, which is ranked 326th in QS World University Rankings. In my doctoral thesis entitled “Organonscape, Atmospheric Relations, and Sound Ethnobiology of Kemençe in and Around Trabzon,” I investigate the relationship between humans and the environment by focusing on sound and the kemençe instrument in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. This thesis has been honored as the “Most Successful Ph.D. Thesis 2022” by Istanbul Technical University. In line with my interest in sound studies, sonic ambiances/atmospheres, acoustic ecology, and sound ethnobiology, I continue to focus and research different sonic environments and their features through composing music.
