Postdoctoral Researcher with expertise in cross-national comparative research and public policy evaluation, with a particular focus on local government. My research examines policies, institutions and local government capacity for policy implementation across multiple governance levels, addressing complex policy challenges, including sustainability in the context of urban mobility and energy transitions.
I have professional experiences in policy research, development, and advocacy within multistakeholder projects, working collaboratively with academics, policymakers, government departments, and civil society organisations to generate and translate evidence into policy-relevant insights.
I hold a BS in International Relations (2016) from Hacettepe University, Turkey, MS in International Relations and European Studies (2020) from the University of Florence, Italy, and a PhD in Politics and Public Administration (2026) from the University of Limerick, Ireland.
